3x3 Virtual Communication
Acquire solid skills for delivering better virtual presentations. The 3×3 formula focuses on the foundations. Your training includes 3 virtual sessions of 3 hours each.

- Session two: Design and deliver a PowerPoint presentation online, incorporating stories and strong body language, making good use of one’s voice and virtual delivery skills.
- Session three: Manage a virtual Q&A and promote audience engagement and dialogue remotely.
Format: small groups (of up to 4) to allow time for practice and personal feedback.
Dialogue coaching
Engaging in dialogue strengthens the authenticity, openness, and empathy of the speaker. Retention of information and acceptance of a point of view is much higher when you give the audience an opportunity to engage you on the topic. So, speak less, listen more. This half-day training focuses on encouraging dialogue, getting people to talk and ask questions, and handling a Q&A effectively. Avoid any awkward silence at the end of your prepared remarks, and make sure you are not the only voice in the room.
Format: half-day, online or face-to-face
Panel training
Panels are not a competition, but there are winners and losers. Make sure you stand out in your panel with engaging content, excellent participation and interaction, and solid preparation. Work the crowd and engage your fellow speakers and chairperson with confidence. Draw attention to your point-of-view with strong statements and wit.
Format: half-day, face-to-face in a simulated panel set-up.
Crisis Communications
Our crisis communications training is a combination of media training and crisis leadership coaching. The training is built around a crisis scenario specific to your company, and lets you manage crisis communications with different audiences (media, employees, communities, etc.). The focus is on:
- Showing both care and control
- Defining crisis priorities and communication goals
- Framing the event and mastering crisis messaging
- Protecting the company by staying disciplined in your communication
- Dealing with tough, emotional, hostile and difficult questions
- Avoiding pitfalls and upsetting statements
- Reflecting on the company’s crisis communications approach and identifying improvements.
Format: online (half-day) or face-to-face (full day). Focus on media-only is also possible.
