Support your in-house comms team to succeed in a new era of comms

Bespoke coaching, workshops and retreats to inspire and empower your comms team to become more agile, strategic and credible in the face of intense change.

The spotlight is shining on your comms team

After recent restructures, redundancies and overhauls, your comms team must prove its worth in a new business landscape, facing demanding commercial goals and amidst post-pandemic working practices.

Your team is expected to impress and advise at the most senior levels, while building trust among internal and external audiences. With the many challenges of stakeholder management and the shifting skillsets required to modernise this discipline, you’re bound to be asking a lot of them.

So how can you keep your comms team performing at its best, most strategic level when anxiety, overwhelm and confidence crises frequently creep in among these talented, creative - and often sensitive - individuals?

Equip your team with the best coaching and mentoring

My coaching, workshops and retreats focus on helping them to feel good about who they are and what they do, and have a strong sense of their career plan, while understanding the business needs, the direction of the industry and where their skills gaps might be.

This gives you the building blocks for an agile, resilient and commercially strategic comms team. Not only will they be confident and strategic in their advice and support for the business, they’ll feel excited about their place in its future.

More specifically, my support can:

  • Ease overwhelm and reducing anxiety: Understandably, your team’s resilience can waiver in the face of today’s many pressures and demands on resources. Work with me to help individuals and the collective become more resilient, calmer and ultimately more effective.

  • Raise credibility and visibility among senior stakeholders: So many comms folk don’t believe in themselves. I support them to be seen and recognised as credible, strategic thinkers, whose opinions are valued and who are unafraid to share their worth. This heightens the impact of the whole team’s work.

  • Help retain and upskill your ambitious talent: Promotions and pay rises might be limited, so how can you help valued team members stay loyal and progress their careers? My support empowers them with strategic, long-term career plans, a sense of personal purpose and an understanding of their value and strengths.

  • Contribute to a high-functioning, post-pandemic culture: The hybrid working model is a particular challenge for comms teams, who need to be visible and influential internally to do their best work. My support helps your team be seen and heard, and to re-establish their confidence with “real-world” interactions such as events, presentations and networking opportunities.

How you can work with me

One-to-one coaching: Support those employees facing particular challenges in their jobs or personal lives - e.g. returns from maternity leave, significant promotions or confidence knocks. These sessions provide a confidential environment where your employee can feel safe, heard and valued by your business. Even one hour of support can make a huge difference in their perspective and performance.

Team workshops, seminars and group training programmes: I offer workshop sessions both in-person and via Zoom in which a group can explore and share their experiences together, learn from each other and take forward new ideas and professional guidance on topics ranging from overwhelm and resilience, to confidence and credibility.

Working Retreats: I design relaxing and inspiring corporate retreats for your comms team to help them decompress together after a stressful, busy time, celebrate the value of their work, learn valuable, supportive calming techniques and understand the power of being present in the moment.
