Method The workshop initially focuses on personal communication and influencing skills and explores the need to prepare well to be able to communication effectively. Participants are introduced to, and practise, vocal and breathing exercises and body positions which positively impact on communication. They examine individual communication styles in detail and how to identify communication preferences in others.
The RoleplayUK Facilitator runs a number of forum theatre scenes, pertinent to consultancy roles, and with interaction from the participants, directs the scenes to improve the outcomes. The forum session actively engages participants in the need for learning, and increases their awareness of how to be successful in a business conversation.
Participants explore how to use communication techniques to improve their positioning as an innovator and someone who adds value to the consultation process.
In smaller breakout groups, participants apply their learning from the forum scenes in skills practice sessions, receiving developmental feedback from the skills coach and their peers.
By the end of the workshop participants will be able to prepare appropriately for a range of communication situations, plan and develop communication frameworks, understand and define client requirements, and demonstrate consideration of communication preferences in preparing for meetings.
They will have a robust understanding of the impact of failing to plan communication suitably, and be able to evaluate their own planning behaviour.
Participants will be able to demonstrate skills in building consensus and resolving conflict and be able to manage stakeholder expectations, maintaining focus on overall deliverables.
