Time and again employees say it: Their boss is their preferred source of information, their communication channel of choice. That’s why the best way to influence and engage an organisation’s people is through its supervisors, managers and leaders.
At Axiom we understand the importance of equipping your people with the communication skills they need to engage, align, and inspire others into action, and that’s where our communication workshops come in.
Effective communication is the cornerstone of successful business, yet too many professionals confuse information with communication. While often used interchangeably, they mean completely different things. Information is about giving out (one-way). Good communication is about getting through (two-way). The world is drowning in information yet faces a communications drought.
Awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1925, George Bernard Shaw once said, “the single biggest problem with communication is the illusion it has taken place.” His quote holds true in business today.
Information is not enough; true communication requires active engagement and understanding. That’s why our communication skills workshops not only impart knowledge but also provide, tips, tools and techniques to achieve effective two-way communication.

Great leaders are great communicators
It’s no coincidence that the best leaders are also the best communicators. With great interpersonal skills they can spot the signals others send about their communication preferences (via things like body language), then agilely flex their communication style accordingly.
Strong communications lie at the heart of successful business, which is why leading businesses invest in advancing the communication skills of their people.
