What will you learn?
This brand new masterclass provides you with the tools and techniques to work most effectively in those critical performance situations, such as management, team and board-level meetings, new business pitches, and key client contacts. You will learn-by-doing within an immersive business simulation, led by professional actors, where you explore the motivations, strengths and blind spots surrounding your personal communication style. The result is a deeper understanding of the impact you have on others and more confidence. Through a process of action, feedback, reflection and application, you learn to make more conscious choices in pivotal moments, enhancing your effectiveness with clients and colleagues alike.
Performance among senior managers demands confidence and self-knowledge. Through an immersive simulation with highly-experienced trainers, this masterclass challenges you to impress and persuade others in problem solving situations. In this masterclass, we work within 3 dimensions:
- Authenticity: your unique set of qualities
You will learn how to bring forward your authentic business self and use it to make a strong impact upon others, and ultimately forge agreements. - Empathy: connecting to others
You incorporate a 'listen first' approach to effective individual and group communication. You also learn how to connect and respond to management and client priorities while maintaining the power of your authentic self. - Collaboration: achieving results
You will discover your own techniques that help you collaborate under pressure, and seize opportunities during meetings.
Intake interview
Your course begins 1 day before the start of the masterclass with a 30 minute 1-on-1 online session to define a personal baseline and extract your unique learning goals.
Debrief interview
After the end of the masterclass, a second online 1:1 session will be arranged. We will review your personal process and convert your learning into individualised advice and actions based on your learning goals.
