Become the most wanted leader.
Leaders deal with complex ideas and strategies that must be communicated effectively to drive goal achievement and sustain the trust and support of team members and other stakeholders.
Executives who do this well are always in high demand. That’s why LinkedIn’s Most In-Demand Skills 2024 report ranked communication skills in the top spot.
Are you up to the task? Or do you need communication coaching?
As an aspiring leader in a professional field, you might find the transition from technical jargon or academic style to communicating effectively with different audiences tougher than you thought.
Another challenge is developing the flexibility to apply the right style, tone and content for various occasions, to avoid offending readers and listeners while minimising reputational risk – your own and that of your team and the organisation.
And, when you’re in senior roles, the value of your credibility lies more in your communication capabilities than your technical competence.
Yet, you might be reluctant to join in group training for communication skills development, perhaps because you:
- Worry that admitting you need help with a core skill could undermine your authority or credibility among peers, subordinates, and superiors.
- Fear the vulnerability that comes with confronting skills deficits and accepting constructive criticism in a public forum.
- Were unaware (until now, since you’re considering communication coaching) of how your communication style, habits and competence have affected your leadership credibility so far.

How is this communication coaching program different?
The Trusted and Valued Communicator program is not just about business writing OR presentation skills – it covers concepts that apply to written, spoken, interpersonal and visual communication.
Each session is like an Agile sprint with:
- Planning (thinking)

- Retrospective (learning)
Every sprint is interactive so you can learn by seeing, listening and doing.
