Being Human Change-Ability Program

Being Human's Change–Ability® Program
Build the skills that build buy-in for change

Whether you are a line manager with a team or a specialist without direct reports, communicating and influencing skills are "a must have" tool of trade for successful change.

In this interactive, two day program, you will learn and immediately apply leading–edge, practical communications techniques to get your message across and accepted by a range of audiences.

A highlight of the program is that you’ll be coached by an experienced actor in using body language and voice for added impact and influence, using role plays and real plays in a safe and fun learning environment.

You’ll come away from the program refreshed and recharged with new insights plus a Communications Toolkit to apply back at the workplace.

Learn more, faster with our Action Learning format – You will bring a current communications challenge to the program and spend most of the program on your feet, practising delivering key messages and getting feedback from our two Program Facilitators and fellow participants. You’ll leave the workshop ready, willing and able to apply the skills you’ve learned at work.
