What soft skills do your marketers need to boost?
Trainings customized for your marketing teams
If it’s a specific soft-skill you’d like to address, the themes below are high energy trainings that are ready to deliver live in your organization, either F2F or remotely. Each training is customizable depending on your needs, and if you don’t see the topic that’s right for you, we can also develop bespoke trainings to meet your needs.
Many of our clients combine individual trainings into a virtual boot-camp which is run over several weeks. Here the modules build off each other and there’s more space for discussion and coaching. Plus, a more measurable, long-term impact on behavioural change.
Virtual presentation and storytelling skills
In our ‘Virtual presentation and storytelling skills’ short course (60-90 minutes) we share how to drive engagement in virtual meetings, and how to increase influence when all your interactions are virtual. We talk about the importance of storytelling, and how to structure your presentations for maximum impact.
Participants will leave the course with improved knowledge of the difference between face to face and virtual presentations. They’ll be better story-tellers. And they’ll have learnt how to master the tech in Microsoft Teams or Zoom, to drive engagement and impact.
Empathy is a marketing superpower!
Empathy is not just a buzzword. According to Forbes it’s THE most important leadership skill for innovation, engagement and retention. And empathy really matters for marketers! It enables us to put ourselves in our customers' shoes and experience their feelings, pain points and challenges. In an age when many marketers are fearing A.I. taking over their responsibilities - empathy is a uniquely human trait. And one that the most successful marketers are cultivating, carefully.
Strengthen your
empathy muscle
In our ‘Empathy is the new Marketing Super-power!’ training (60-90 minutes), you’ll learn how to lead with empathy. We’ll discuss what empathy is and how it differs from sympathy. We’ll share and discuss the most impactful, empathic marketing campaigns.
And you’ll discover how an increase in organizational empathy can have direct results not only on collaboration and team-building, but also on improved innovation, better sales and marketing, and increased performance!
Choose Productivity
There are hundreds of courses out there on Time Management. Actually ‘Time management’ is a misnomer – no one can effectively manage time. It marches on with or without our control! What we can manage is ourselves. Do you or your teams feel overwhelmed and find it difficult to prioritize what really matters? Do you often reach the end of a day, frazzled but without having ticked off anything on your ‘to do’ list?
Beat procrastination! Take control of
your ‘to-do list’
This short course (60-90 minutes) on productivity is precisely for those who report they’re ‘too busy’ for training. We’ll look at some tips and tricks for putting you back in control of your workload. We’ll use practical tools to help you prioritise your most critical activities.
We’ll examine procrastination – why we do it, how to be mindful of it and how to work through it. Particularly when we’re working from home and the distractions are real! And we’ll look at how your mindset has a direct link to your productivity.
Choose Resilience
These are extraordinary times in business. Volatile markets caused by political instability. The Covid ‘hangover’ which has contributed to declining markets and record levels of inflation. The isolation and lack of connection which can result from prolonged remote working. There’s a tidal wave of research and news articles on ‘avoiding burn-out’ and managing stress/anxiety. So much so, that even if we’re feeling OK, we might feel like negative mental health could ‘strike’ at any time!
Perhaps it’s time to reverse the rhetoric and choose resilience. Choose positive habits that will help us feel great 80% of the time, and successfully manage the 20% of time when we are challenged.
Practical tools to help you bounce back
This short virtual ‘Choose Resilience’ course focuses on positive mental health and resilient habits that will increase your overall wellbeing, and your ‘bouncebackability’. It’s a high energy, pragmatic training that encourages participants to see the control they have over their mindset, with actionable tools to use when times get tough.
Choose Growth Mindset
You’ve probably heard the Henry Ford quote “Whether you think you can, or think you can’t – you’re right”. Our mindset is often our most crucial influencing factor on our success – more important than our skills, competencies or network. The good news is that Growth Mindset can be learnt, and it’s never too late to develop yours!
A corporate mindset
for growth
The Choose Consulting training on Growth Mindset is a 60-90 minute virtual training course that challenges your teams to examine their own mindset. We explore the plasticity of our brains. The neuro-science surrounding the topic of mindset. And situations in which your teams can overcome a tendency towards fixed mindset.
And most importantly, we focus on the positive! Gratitude, confidence, positive visualization and a host of other tips and tricks for staying on the bright side!
Learn how to network and influence others when working remotely
Some people demonstrate an almost 'voodoo' level of influence over others. Think of that leader or manager who had a significant impact on your own career. The one you would have 'done anything' for. Chances are their impact was not just down to their own performance and charisma. It was about how they made YOU feel. But how do you improve your powers of influence in a hybrid organisation, when you rarely see your colleagues face to face? Learn how to network and influence others when working remotely. What are the tips and tricks to building gravitas and networking successfully in a virtual organisation?
Improve your influence and impact!
In our ‘Improve your powers of influence’ short course (60-90 minutes) we examine the key principles of influencing others, and how to work these in a virtual/hybrid organisation. **Spoiler alert** – it’s not always about you! It’s about how you focus on others and listen to their needs. We look at the importance of networking and developing your (virtual) network. And we discuss how to build your own gravitas and develop brilliant virtual presentation skills, including hacks for presenting via Teams or Zoom.
Master hybrid working
Thriving in a hybrid workplace
The covid era created an immediate shift in the way we worked. Overnight, many functions shifted from F2F office environment to exclusively remote working. Often with no formal training on how to work, influence or communicate via virtual platforms. Organisations are now trying to find the right balance between remote and F2F working, and many have landed on hybrid working model.
Master the combination of F2F and WFH
In this 60 – 90 minute online training, you’ll learn how to master your productivity and influence skills whether working remotely or in the office. We’ll discuss avoiding procrastination and maximising productivity when WFH, and the joy of collaboration and connection that’s found with office working. We’ll also cover how to influence others and network when you’re working remotely. And how to leverage technology to make the hybrid mix work.
Let’s talk about how we can help you!
