Taking the F-word out of communication...

...that sinking feeling when you're in a meeting, surrounded by senior folk, and you want to say something but you just cannot get the words out. That moment, split-second... you have an important point to make, but your heart beats in your throat, you worry about being judged, your stomach churns, you're overcome by fear and you say nothing... NOTHING AT ALL. 

Sounds familiar? 

We've all been there...

Effective communication across a wide range of media - visual, spoken, written, blogs and videos - is perhaps the most important life skill of all. Without effective communication, it is impossible to influence others and developing real, lasting relationships.

So why is it then that so many of us get our wires crossed so often?

Communication is a big topic and one that Sarah and I will unpack this Friday, 17 July @11am. Come join us!

Sarah is a dear friend and respected colleague. She has spent her career managing, delivering and creating security behaviour change programmes. Both from the inside, as BT’s Security Communications Manager to consulting and running programmes for large international businesses. Sarah has developed new methods for changing behaviour putting conversation back at the heart and executing successful long-lasting Champions Programmes.

Sarah is now the owner and founder at Layer 8 Ltd, a business dedicated to creating secure behaviours, where she continues to focus on developing practical methods businesses can use to create secure cultures. Since founding the business in 2015 Sarah has delivered programmes for some of the world’s most prestigious brands and is a regular speaker and contributor on security culture, behaviour, and awareness.

Those of you who are familiar with my book ROAR! How to Tame the Bully Inside and Out will know that I am incredibly passionate about effective communication. Every single interaction and conversations, whether in person or in writing, create and experience - good, bad or indifferent. Communication gives our lives meaning. I dedicate a whole Chapter (eight) to how we communicate with impact and influence. Explicit, open and transparent communications are the cornerstone of every successful relationship. ROAR! is not only the title of my book, and it is also a four-step process to help you approach difficult conversations with clarity and confidence. (ROAR - Recognise, Observe, Assert/Ask, Redirect).

Can't wait to see you!
