Effective leadership, team development and communication go hand in hand
History shows the most revered leaders have been great communicators.
But there is a problem.
Not all leaders communicate effectively.
Effective communication is not as simple as it might sound.
A lack of confidence and feelings of vulnerability hinders some leaders. Others may lack subject matter knowledge.
The reverse can also be true – subject matter experts new to leadership roles. A lack of proper preparation undermines some.
Additionally, the workplace brings together different audiences and a range of ways people like to communicate.
If left unchecked, these challenges can lead to infrequent communication, mixed messages, a lack of a clear vision, and poor engagement and motivation.
This can result in poor business performance results and high staff turnover.

We've got the A's to your Q's
Who delivers your leadership training?
A qualified leadership coach will lead your training.
Sometimes they will be supported by one of our current working journalist tutors.
We have been around for more than 40 years.
In that time, we have helped thousands of people hone their leadership and management style, communications skills, knowledge and confidence to handle a wide range of audiences.
Our sister company – The BCF Group – specialises in business coaching, leadership skills and interpersonal skills.
And we can pull on their expertise and skills to ensure your course covers everything you need.
Why do you use journalists on leadership communication courses?
It is a good question.
But let’s be clear, we do not just use journalists to deliver our courses.
We tend to use them to support our qualified leadership coaches on some courses.
Journalists have good communication skills. And they can play a crucial role in helping leaders improve their communication ability.
They also have a unique ability to understand what makes audiences tick and how to grab and maintain their attention.
Their expertise covers voice coaching, delivering presentations, presenting online and in person, managing nerves, networking skills, increasing personal impact, developing ideas and messages, and communicating effectively.
Who better to help you find your own personal communication style?
Many of them also have extensive team leadership experience and have led busy newsdesks.
What will my training course cover?
We will tailor your leadership communication skills course to your needs, requirements and personal development goals.
We will work with you to design a training course that matches your vision. And that helps your leadership team fulfil its communication potential.
Your course could include:
- What effective communication looks like
- The barriers to good communication
- How to enhance your communications in different situations
- Identifying different communication styles and tailoring what you say to them
- How to build trust and rapport with your target audience
- Managing nerves in challenging situations and the role of interpersonal skills
- Managing emotions during difficult business conversations
- The importance of tone of voice and how it influences others
- How to improve your listening and develop your questioning skills
- The importance of positive language and a clear message
- Understanding the impact of body language on your leadership communication style. And how it influences others
- Why you need to plan and prepare your written communication. And understanding different structures and formats.
Leaders will also need to speak to the media and deliver high-profile speeches and presentations. So, your training could include elements of our media training and presentation skills training.
Who are leadership communication courses for?
Our training is also ideal for communications managers looking to refine their leadership communication skills.
Do you have people new to leadership roles who need to improve their interpersonal communication?
Do you have leaders to return to work after a break?
Perhaps you have experienced leaders looking to refine their skills. Or who want to encourage strategic thinking, achieve better results and increase their impact.
We can even help leaders plan and prepare what to say for crucial announcements or about complex issues.
Tell us what you need and we will design a course to meet the aims, objectives and experience levels of you and your business leaders. And that hones your communication process.
