Accelerate growth in your organisation
Agile business teams need to upskill quickly to stay relevant. Your teams need to deliver with impact constantly, whether it’s 1:1 conversations, team meetings or presentations, getting their message across in a compelling way is critical.
But taking time out of the office for training, or the travel costs for live training, can be prohibitive for dispersed teams. Online learning is the perfect alternative to enhance communication skills within distributed or international teams, fast.

Online module breakdown
Discover what you will learn in each module of the online communication course.
To be heard your people need to grab their audience’s attention by speaking to their concerns and priorities. In this module, we explore how to diagnose an audience by looking at the outcome from their point of view.
- Understand the audiences and what they need
- Tailor messages to be relevant to them
- Identify what you want them to feel, think and do
Drowning audiences in content is a sure-fire way for a message to be lost. So how can we construct communication that is compelling and memorable? The secret to effortlessly design a cohesive and fascinating delivery is revealed in this module.
- Discover our simple framework to structure and remember content
- Learn the 4 key elements to being memorable
- Find out how to engage the audience in a meaningful way
The way in which a message is delivered is just as critical as how the audiences receive it. A masterful communicator knows it is not only about what you say, but how you say it.
- Learn how to use physiology and gestures to enhance messages
- The key to using voice to persuade
- How to effectively use visual aids to make messages stand out
Delivering messages with optimal impact requires practice combined with the right mental attitude. This module focuses on the psychology of communication.
- Overcome negative self-talk and increase confidence
- The importance of being clear in intent
- How to project the right energy and integrate humour effectively
The key difference between a good communicator and a masterful communicator is in the fine detail. The final module will teach how to perfectly polish communications from start to end.
