It is not every day that we get to launch a new workshop, and I am particularly excited about our upcoming new workshop on becoming a Supercommunicator.
Are you looking to improve your communication skills and connect more deeply with others?
Whether in your personal or professional life, strong communication is key to success. That’s why we have created and are launching the Supercommunicators Workshop, inspired by the book Supercommunicators by Charles Duhigg, this October at the City Campus.
What is Supercommunicators?
Supercommunicators is a two-session interactive workshop designed to help you master the essential communication strategies used by great communicators. Created by Haidee Baker and Gareth Furber from Health, Counselling and Disability Services, this workshop provides real-life experience in practicing these proven techniques, drawn directly from Duhigg’s research and insights.
Workshop Focus
Throughout the two sessions, you’ll explore six essential skills that supercommunicators use to build better connections, lead meaningful conversations, and foster positive interactions:
- Prepare for the conversation – Learn how a little preparation can turn a casual chat into a productive, engaging conversation.
- Ask open-ended questions – Discover how to invite deeper responses and richer interactions.
- Get deep – Move beyond surface-level exchanges by encouraging emotional vulnerability and real dialogue.
- Match the other person’s mood and energy – Develop emotional intelligence by aligning with the other person’s emotional state.
- Prove you are listening – Practice active listening skills that help build trust and rapport.
- Find common ground – Strengthen connections by identifying shared interests and experiences.
What to Expect
In the first session (Workshop A), we’ll explore each of the essential skills and facilitate hands-on exercises and practical examples to apply what you learn. From preparing for conversations to mastering open-ended questions, you’ll leave Workshop A with tools that you can use immediately to improve your interactions, and an invitation to try them in your everyday life.
The second session (Workshop B) will be an informal chance to catch-up (with food) and chat about any efforts you’ve made to improve your communications using the skills from Workshop A. Think of it as a conversation about conversations!!
