Video: aligning intentions for smoother communication
“Stop for a moment and ask yourself: ‘Why am I reallyhaving this conversation?’ Dig a little deeper, and often you can reveal a common target – and remove conflict from the conversation.”
In this quick video, BiteSize Learning founder Paul Hodder reflects on how finding common ground with an interlocutor – whether it’s a manager, sales lead or stakeholder – can be the key to moving a conversation forward.
Recent reviews for our communication training courses

"I found our trainer kept the course engaging and delivered well with an answer all questions; I now have some new styles to put in place to help me going forward and some really good tips. Its really good having the breakout session with groups as it makes it more interesting to hear how others deal or would deal in certain situations."

"I've taken some other presentation courses, but this one had some really helpful content and the trainer was also able to add more insight and clarity that helped too. I tried one of the techniques that stuck out to me during the presentation at the end of the course, and I found it worked well. Thanks!"

"The content & structure of the course were excellent; themed sections were arranged logically & coherently, making the information and tips easily digestible Trainer was very empathetic and accommodated each trainee's specific concerns and helped us all to work on improving individual weaknesses. Practice sessions weren't too prescriptive or rigid and this flexibility mitigated my nervousness about producing and delivering a mock presentation at short notice"
Attendee, Managing for Mental Health

"The course content is good, practical, and informative. Kathryn is friendly, enthusiastic, encouraging, and aware of what she is explaining. She provided constructive feedback during our presentation. I was quite amazed that she could pick up so many things and type out her feedback and explain to us, whether the positive ones or things that need to improve."

"It was very interesting, and made me think about how I approach presentations or situations where I may have to "think fast." There were some useful tools to take away. Two hours feels like a big part of the working day, but this course needed that time – if the length was any shorter, we would have had to race through, and it may have been less impactful. We had a very nice and engaging presenter."
Attendee, Thinking on Your Feet
-
"I liked actually seeing different types of communication and personality styles being formalised and defined, in order to be aware of them when communicating with my team. Also, meeting some of my colleagues who I deal with regularly for the first time! And speaking to international colleagues."
Attendee, Managing Upwards

How can training in communication skills transform your business?
Effective communication is the cornerstone of a successful organisation – and with the rise of remote and hybrid work models, it's more important than ever for employees to have strong communication skills to keep teams connected and aligned.
Training in communication skills can be a game-changer for employees at all levels of the organisation, from entry-level staff to top executives.
From assertiveness to high-impact writing, our communication skills training sessions cover a range of topics that can benefit your employees in numerous ways.
For example, training in persuasive communication can help employees inspire and motivate their colleagues, while training in presentation skills can help them deliver compelling and engaging pitches. Similarly, training in giving and receiving feedback can help create a culture of open communication and continuous improvement.
The benefits of communication skills training extend beyond individual employees. From an HR perspective, investing in training and development opportunities can help to improve overall employee engagement and retention. When employees feel that their employer is invested in their growth and development, they are more likely to feel satisfied with their jobs and less likely to seek employment elsewhere.
And when their job brings new challenges, they can go tackle it fearlessly, trusting that their employer will help them rise to meet it. Furthermore, employees who feel confident in their communication skills are more likely to be effective in their roles, leading to increased efficiency, productivity, and effectiveness across the organisation.
Additionally, communication skills training can help to enhance an organisation's brand perception. When employees are able to communicate effectively with clients, customers, and other stakeholders, they are better equipped to represent the company in a positive light. Effective communication can help to build trust and rapport with clients and customers, leading to increased loyalty and repeat business.
Overall, communication skills training is a valuable investment for any organization looking to improve its communication and effectiveness. By providing employees with the tools and techniques they need to communicate effectively, organizations can improve employee satisfaction, retention, and overall performance, while also enhancing their brand reputation and bottom line.
