Communication skills is such an important requirement in the workplace, and due to the number of times I’ve heard this, it's worth writing this article for you! If this is a question you have - you are in the right place so stick around and prepare for some gold.
Maybe the subject has come up in an interview or appraisal. Or perhaps you’ve taken a personality/career test and see that communication skills is an area needing development. And you realise that, sometimes sitting in a meeting, your voice is not always heard, or worse, you fear speaking up, perhaps doubting your ideas or feeling like an Imposter.
Qualified Leadership Coach
With my background as a qualified leadership coach, and having worked in this field for many years, I see that those who choose to invest in their communication skills break through barriers and go on to make a huge impact.
My philosophy has always been to get real with my clients. And I suspect that you appreciate that too.
The Impactors© Leadership Program
The Impactors© program offers an opportunity for a young professional woman who wants to grow, to explore a holistic approach to her work & life and so raise her profile in order to gain promotion. And inside we cover many different modalities from career development to mindset, problem solving techniques to relationship building, leadership and decision making and so on. And the biggest subject that permeates all of it is developing communication skills to a high standard.
The reality is that our skills at communicating, whether verbal or non-verbal, entirely governs how we show up in the world. Theory is all well and good however we need to focus on how to use the skills and that is where coaching + your input will show results.
My recent graduate from the Impactors program ‘A’ said this:
“Genevieve helped me get out of my shell and realize my passions, strengths and values”.
Using a guided reflective tool phase of the program, ‘A’ gained clarity and direction on her leadership goals.
“I love that it challenged my way of thinking and allowed me to see things from a different angle and perspective”.
This has directly fed into the way that ‘A’ now communicates within her workplace and with her team.
Communication Skills
And so, when you see ‘communication’ as a part of the program we offer, please be aware that this is a module to stretch the inner world in order to express just how much you have to offer to the outer world. Make an Impact change-maker!
Do you have a mission?
And, perhaps more crucially, do you communicate your mission within the decisions you make every day and the inspiration you bring to your workplace?
I have a mission and that is to support high-potential women in their aspirations to change the world. And, in order to do that, I offer coaching structured in such a way as to build on and improve their performance for promotion in their field.
There are many different coaching methods employed within our program in order to bring about the transformation available to those who truly want to excel within their profession.
Personality Profiling
One, and this is one of my accreditations, is a personality profiling tool that uses bird types in the assessment of confidence, assertiveness, how much attention to detail is given and how tasks are approached etc. It’s a wonderful way to instantly work out which character traits are ready to be expanded on in order to really make an impact and achieve successful interviews and presentations.
My personal mission statement goes deeper and includes that I love to help the bird types such as the Doves, who are high in people focus and compassion but low assertion, low confidence. Coaching will help them to build up the confidence and the assertiveness to be able to speak up when they see injustice and to make a difference in the world.
