Bespoke Corporate Training

Technical knowledge and subject matter expertise are essential for business success, as are soft skills that elevate your people – and, therefore, your organisation – above the competition. I help organisations drive greater business success through communication skills training.

Why soft skills training matters

Your people and how they interact with your clients, prospective clients, and each other give your organisation a competitive edge.

To be truly effective and successful as professionals, your people need to be developed through soft skills training so they have the confidence to build and maintain positive professional relationships:

Relationships that generate more business.
Relationships that build strong internal teams.
Relationships from which your people and their clients benefit.

Communication skills training for employees relates to how your people work. Soft skills are challenging to develop as they involve behavioural change and are frequently neglected in terms of learning and development investment.

Typical ways I engage with corporate training clients:

Workshops
Facilitated team sessions
Focused group sessions
Masterclasses
Seminars at events
One-to-one sessions
Development & Retention Programmes
Business Development for law firms

Your people are the key to success

When your employees are highly proficient in soft skills, they can achieve success for themselves and their organisation. Everyone benefits from creating a more positive working culture to winning new business.

What does soft skills training include? It includes communication skills training but is much more than that. Essentially, it is about equipping people with the skills and confidence they need to engage with others in every professional scenario.

Joanna ran a fantastic session on ‘Navigating Office Politics’ for my team. Talking through these ideas really helped people realise that understanding and managing colleagues is a vital skill, no less important than delivering high-quality technical work.

Having had the pleasure to see Joanna in action delivering a session to our newly qualified associates the other week, I can highly recommend her to other firms looking to run training on professional impact.

I wanted to change the behaviours and improve the performance of our finance team. Joanna took the time to understand the situation and designed an ‘away day’ for the team aimed at initiating that change. She delivered a well thought out programme, leading us through the process of clarifying our goals, identifying gaps and putting together a plan to deliver improvement. Joanna was open and engaging throughout and the team left feeling energised and enthused.
