About the Course
Shh….. Did you know that there is a secret Language of Leadership: a secret language which has determined who has reached the top in politics, business and society since the dawn of time? In this 2-day workshop, top speechwriter Simon Lancaster sets out top tips from the Language of Leadership so you can make your communication instantly more engaging, inspiring and influential. The course workshop teaches techniques from ancient rhetoric together with the latest insights from neuroscience as we analyze current trends in modern commercial and political discourse and look at how we can put these techniques into practice.
Leading effectively requires being able to communicate across different audiences and to persuade by understanding what matters most to the particular group you are dealing with. Active listening and a respect for other points of view, though easy to agree with intellectually, are often difficult to put into practice. By working on real-life examples, we will explore how messages can be conveyed persuasively and crises averted.
Learning Objectives
- How to communicate to different audiences
- Become more aware of your own strengths and challenges as a communicator
- Speak with a strong sense of clarity and purpose
