About this Event

Change has never been as big, as frequent, or as disruptive. And this is the new normal for organisations all over the world.

As communicators, we're deep in the trenches, helping organisations drive and navigate change, while also battling with our audiences' attention being pulled in every direction.

For professional communicators, this means we have to adapt the way we approach our work to cut through the noise, and reach people effectively.

But how?

That's what this Masterclass is all about!




What you'll learn

Over four hours, you'll learn:

  • How people think and behave in response to change, and what that means for your communication practices.
  • How to effectively tailor communication to meet the diverse needs of your audience.
  • How to use tools like language and even formatting to persuade your audiences.
  • What's important to people during change, and how to tap into their needs.

You'll walk away armed with new knowledge and ideas you can put into practice right away, along with tools and templates to help you hit the ground running.



What to expect

This is no boring, lecture-style workshop! Expect lively discussions and interactive elements to help the learning stick, and keep you excited about what you can do next!



What's included
  • Four-hour live workshop with a master facilitator
  • Tools and templates
  • A copy of all workshop materials
  • Snacks and drinks
  • Great company!


Your facilitator
