Communication

In fast-paced and demanding workplaces, breakdown in communication is common place. This may be because of poor listening or language skills; personality clashes; misunderstandings; a team pulling in different directions; a lack of trust and much more besides.

At teambuilding.ie we provide simple techniques and insights that can be applied immediately to overcome the majority of these problems. The session blends input and reflection on each person’s communication styles, identifying the strengths and weaknesses of each. Having recognised one’s own and the team’s preferred style, these insights are put to the test by the completion of some of our communication tasks, be they blind driving, zick-zack, the shepard’s pen or the compass challenge. Here participants will have a chance to not only undertake the various tasks, but also reflect with the trained facilitator mid-way to see how they can improve their communication.

At the end of the session, each person and team makes a commitment to how they can concretely improve communication within the team.
