Improve Collaboration

Improve Communication | Raise Collaboration | Stop Silo Working

You want to improve your communication so it is more effective, gets the message across and supports collaborative working. Our approach involves first understanding your audience's perspective and needs, which are influenced by where they are and who they are with.

Listening first is like buidling a bridge across the chasm between you. Only after you understand their perspective are they ready to lieten to you. Then you can say your own message and start to lead them with you on your bridge across to the other side of the chasm.

All of us are strongly influenced by the context we find ourselves in as well as our individual and collective mental models that are mostly unconscious yet determine how we think, feel and behave. For effective communication, we need to understand how our different mental models and contexts determine how we perceive and interpret communication of all kinds. That gives us tools to tailor our communication appropriately for each audience.

Benefits:
• Understand a more complete picture of the situation from diverse perspectives.
• Recognise our own and others' mental models - enabling a reframe from limiting to empowering mindsets.
• Understand personality and working style differences to reduce conflicts and work more effectively together.
• Encourage better listening and curiosity to understand your audience. This paves the way for more effective communication that enables your audience to understand your message as you intended it to be understood.
• Nurture and earn trust, compassion and stronger relationships that support effective collaboration.
• Break down silos within the organisation.
