Conversations That Matter!®
Transform the conversations that shape your workplace
Every conversation has the potential to build trust, strengthen relationships, improve performance and unlock better thinking. Yet too often, conversations become rushed, transactional or avoided altogether.
Conversations That Matter® is a three-month hybrid learning programme that helps leaders, managers and professionals develop a coaching approach and practical communication skills to transform everyday workplace conversations.
Whether you're leading a team, supporting performance, giving feedback or navigating change, you'll learn how to make your conversations more purposeful, impactful and empowering.
What you'll develop
Throughout the programme you'll learn how to:
-
Develop a coaching approach that encourages greater ownership, confidence and accountability.
-
Listen more deeply and ask questions that stimulate insight rather than simply provide answers.
-
Build stronger relationships through more intentional and purposeful conversations.
-
Approach difficult conversations with greater confidence and clarity.
-
Learn a practical framework for structuring purposeful conversations, from setting a clear intention through to agreed actions.
-
Apply practical tools that can be used in everyday leadership and workplace conversations.
How the programme works
The programme combines self-paced online learning, live workshops, real workplace practice and individual mentoring over three months, giving you the opportunity to learn, apply and embed new skills over time.
Month One – Build the foundations
Begin with self-paced online learning, introducing the ideas, practical tools and conversation framework you'll build on throughout the programme.
You'll also record one of your own workplace conversations, creating a starting point that you'll revisit later in the programme to see the impact of applying your learning in a real-life context.
Month Two – Practise and apply
Continue through the next stage of the online learning before bringing it to life in live workshops, where you'll practise new approaches, learn alongside other participants and explore how to apply the conversation framework in your own workplace.
Between sessions, you'll continue experimenting with the tools and approaches, reflecting on what you're noticing and building confidence through practice.
Month Three – Embed and sustain
Towards the end of the programme, you'll record a second workplace conversation. Comparing the two recordings provides a powerful opportunity to reflect on how the learning has influenced your conversations and the difference it is making in your own workplace context.
You'll complete the programme with a one-to-one mentoring session, reflecting on your learning and planning how you'll continue applying your new skills beyond the programme.
