The message you sent and the message they got are two different messages.

Communication & Presentation

Who It Is For

  • Teams that work well individually and badly together
  • Managers whose intent and impact keep disagreeing
  • Anyone whose relationships at work are their bottleneck

How It Runs

  • One to two days, in person or online
  • Paired and triad practice with observation on every round
  • English and Urdu

What It Turns On

  1. 01

    Listen for what is not being said as well as what is.

  2. 02

    Give feedback that changes behaviour rather than mood.

  3. 03

    Say the direct thing without losing the relationship.

  4. 04

    Repair a conversation that has already gone wrong.

The broad outline

  1. 01

    In context

    A misunderstanding from the room's own last month, told from both ends.

  2. 02

    Know

    Intent against impact. What gets lost between the two, and where tone, assumption and history enter the gap.

  3. 03

    Go

    Listening properly — the kind that is not just waiting. Questions, reflection, and checking rather than assuming.

  4. 04

    Show

    Live practice: feedback, disagreement, the request that keeps being ignored, and the repair conversation.

  5. 05

    Close

    One relationship at work you are going to go and fix.

What You Are Left Holding

  • Your own listening, audited by peers
  • A feedback structure you will actually use
  • One repair conversation planned
