Who this is for

This one-day intensive is for mid- and senior-level purpose-driven leaders who need to communicate with impact across diverse contexts and settings, including team briefings, stakeholder meetings, presentations and more. They want their words to build trust, inspire action and align teams around shared goals. Without this skill, influence is diluted, alignment frays and strategic priorities lose momentum.

Why it matters now

In today’s environment of complexity, disruption and uncertainty, leaders are judged as much by how they communicate as by the outcomes they deliver. The ability to deliver a clear, credible and compelling message isn’t just a career advantage, it’s a leadership necessity. Without it, leaders risk disengaged teams, misaligned stakeholders and missed opportunities to lead change. With it, they earn trust, drive clarity and accelerate results.

    The sessions we did with Ros were invaluable. They gave us space to think more holistically and strategically away from the often reactive nature of the day-to-day. Ros has a brilliant ability to empower you to broaden your thinking, to push you to think two or three steps above the issue you think you have, to then see the higher-level solution. My colleague and I often reflect on our sessions with Ros and the way our thinking has evolved as a result.

    I found the overall experience really valuable. In a deadline driven, reactive team its easy to just churn and burn. To sit and think about why we do what we do and the value we bring to the organisation really adds meaning to the job. After doing the workshop I feel really proud of the work I do, but also really motivated for what’s to come.
