Effective communication

You hear it in every organisation: there is something wrong with the communication. We communicate constantly, but that does not make us experts. In this in-company training you learn to communicate clearly, purposefully and through storytelling, in 3 half-days for 6 to 12 participants, in Dutch or English.

Do you recognise this?

You send an email about a change in the schedule. An hour later you get three replies with three different interpretations, and a colleague is clearly not happy. You meant something completely different.

You are chasing your message and feel like you constantly have to explain what you actually said. That is exhausting, because you just want people to understand what you mean and get excited about it.

You communicate every day, and yet:

  • you do not find the time for it or you do not prepare well;
  • you postpone a difficult message or assume you do not need to say something;
  • you encounter emotional or intellectual resistance;
  • your message does not land as you intended.

Then transparency, trust, collaboration and efficiency suffer. You can learn how to become a communicator who is known for inviting and inspiring communication.

Why does my message not land?

We communicate all day, so we assume it happens naturally. As a result, we prepare little and push difficult messages ahead of us.

The result is that you spend more time clarifying, correcting and repeating than on the work itself. People tune out or react to what they thought they heard. That puts pressure on trust and collaboration, and it costs you energy you would rather use elsewhere.

It does not have to stay this way. Communicating clearly is not a gift, it is a craft you can learn.

How do you communicate clearly and with impact?

Good communication starts with a few fixed principles, and you can practise them until they become second nature.

Our coaches know those emails and conversations that do not land. They work with the four cornerstones of effective communication: emotionally intelligent, purposeful, storytelling and systemic communication. Each cornerstone helps you a step further, from understanding your audience to delivering your message so that it sticks.

In three half-days you practise with situations from your own work. You go home with concrete tools and a message that lands as you intend it.

What you can do after the training

After the training you can:

  • apply the basic principles of communication and understand why certain communication styles do not work;
  • structure your ideas to quickly get to the essence;
  • deal with emotional and intellectual resistance;
  • turn diverse perceptions into enrichments for your conversations;
  • use stories as a carrier of knowledge and a source of inspiration;
  • formulate messages that attract people and set them in motion.

How we approach this

You start from the basic principles of communication, which are rooted in systems theory, and quickly apply them practically in your context. You get concrete tools and tips to support and enrich your communication.

The four cornerstones

  • Emotionally intelligent communication: start from your target audience, empathise, tune your communication and connect;
  • Purposeful communication: what effect do you want to achieve? Determine your strategy and be concise;
  • Storytelling communication: take your conversation partner or audience with you, structure your message, inspire and motivate;
  • Systemic communication: determine the setting, choose your media, provide structure and create a stimulating environment.
