About the workshop
The success of any organisation rests on the ability of the communication team to ensure staff are engaged, understand what is expected of them and that stakeholders are kept informed.
Transitioning from a technical communication specialist to a strategic leader is not a straightforward process. As a leader, it’s vital to consider the broader organisational goals and align these with you and your team. Leaders in the communication profession need to create an environment conducive to fast, creative, and considered decisions.
In this workshop, you will be guided through a number of activities and be presented with strategies to assist your progression from technical specialist to strategic leader. The interactive course will explore the demands of communications leadership and the skills and attributes needed to lead an effective team and achieve key organisational outcomes.
