Rock Star Consultative Skills for Communicators

Becoming an indispensable strategic contributor
SHARE

About the workshop

This session is a tonic for weary communicators who are exhausted and disempowered by friction in their internal client relationships. We zoom in specifically on the space between the communications practitioner and their internal clients and executives – the space where the biggest career challenges tend to take place, but also where magic can happen. 

This unique workshop is more than just training – it’s a medium for change. It’s as much about unelarning habits and patterns that may be holding you back as it is about learning new frameworks and approaches to building your consultative skills. We’ll work beyond what you do and focus on how you add value – using yourself as an instrument of change. 

This dynamic session is designed for communications professionals who want to elevate their performance, draw a bigger box and make a meaningful impact. 

Format: In person, online or hybrid (English, French or bilingual)
