Communication Coaching for Teachers – helping teachers connect with both pupils and parents

Teachers are naturally good and experienced speakers and communicators. But they often have to deal with challenges like having difficult conversations with pupils or with demanding parents.

Why not offer your staff this highly practical and interactive course?

They will learn how we can communicate more effectively. We will look at voice, body language and the structure of messaging. We will look at their listening skills as well as the wider ‘softer’ communication skill sets.

All courses are bespoke and can run from one hour to a full day, depending on numbers.

The consistent feedback from teachers and Head Teachers is that Robin’s courses are inspiring, practical and hugely enjoyable.

For pupils

‘How to feel Confident’ – a one hour talk for Sixth Form pupils

We passionately believe there is a real need for children to be able to communicate clearly and confidently, whether reading aloud in class, speaking from the podium on Speech Day or at a university interview.

In this one hour talk, Robin will share some simple and effective tools that can help pupils appear and feel more confident in pressured situations, like public speaking or university or job interviews.

We will look at nerves, voice, and body language – learning how to tread that fine line between confidence and arrogance.

Confidence is an invaluable life skill that will help pupils in situations well beyond the classroom.

The consistent feedback from pupils, and from Heads of Sixth Form, is that this talk is inspiring, practical and great fun.

For students

Interactive Public Speaking and Interview Skills training – helping students succeed in the real world

We all want to do our best when facing the nerves around public speaking or the worrying prospect of an interview, whether that’s for our next school, university or our first job.

Our group Public Speaking training is great fun. It’s crammed full of specific tips and exercises to help each individual student.

With an interview, we only have one go at it, so 1-1 coaching practice is really helpful. We want pupils to be relaxed and prepared enough to be their very best, every time.

Learning these skills while still at school gives students a firm foundation on which to build as they grow into adulthood, helping them substantially in both their personal and professional lives.

Our experience, enthusiasm and sense of humour, make our sessions memorable, fun and above all, really effective.
