About the session:
Part of our Autumn-Winter Career Series, this new 90 minute session aims to strengthen leaders’ ability to communicate change clearly and compassionately to support team trust, motivation and adaptability.
Build your confidence in communicating with transparency and impact. This session will help you craft messages that build trust, reduce anxiety and keep people connected through times of uncertainty.
This is the third of 3 new sessions around change which are being delivered by Rachel Thompson.
In this session, we will:
• Explore tools for supportive and effective communication during change
• Use models and approaches including:
- – SCARF model (psychological drivers in social interactions)
- – THRIVE and OSCAR for coaching through challenge.
- – Techniques for difficult conversations, active listening, and empathetic communication.
Key Takeaway:
- Practical strategies to lead open, confident, and human-centred conversations that build resilience and engagement during change.
