Our time is your time

Over the last 20 years we have crafted a unique methodology that blends phycology performance and storytelling to unlock potential and accomplish success.

We work with the spoken word as well as excavate the unsaid. We make silence speak and big noise with the quietest actions. Our by-stealth approach makes those we coach, glow.

We have a track record of exceptional results at the highest level and no other coaching and mentoring company offers the world class specialisms and practice that our associates do.

Our renowned creative coaches are an ensemble of experts in voice, language, movement, direction, performance, scripting and business communications. They are recognized for their work with companies such as the Royal Shakespeare Company, The National Theatre, The Globe, The BBC, SKY, The Royal Ballet and the English National Opera.

Our central philosophy is the belief that only when a person is fully comfortable about standing in an empty space and being looked at by peers and strangers, when they can stand and feel and be present in that moment, that they are then ready to begin the process of harnessing the potential of their dramatic power. This is innate within us all but requires understanding, harnessing, developing and on-going training.

The key to all of this is how to use your body’s natural energy and learn how to apply it in a range of ways. This begins with the breath. Making an investment in the wellspring that quality breathing offers is making an investment in the full potential of your voice and your whole being.

Be Yourself. Everyone Else is Taken.

WeArePeople believe:

• Truly Impressive and inspiring communication is an art form that draws upon the essence of an individual.

• Inspiring communication is act of self- belief coupled with an ability to connect with others.

• Soft skills are the most powerful ones:

Exercise your instinct and develop:

Agility. The work mindset of routine and fixed procedure is over. We need to become better at retaining our inherent childhood ability and propensity to adapt and evolve, topping up skills on demand.

Critical thinking. We need to spend more time learning how to ask the right questions and less on how to answer them. If you can critically analyse and question the cause, you are one step away from solving the problem.

Initiative and entrepreneurship. Initiative and entrepreneurial skills will move from the sidelines of leadership to the core, inspiring a new generation of doers and innovators who seek out new opportunities, ideas and strategies for improvement.

Creativity and curiosity. Einstein famously said “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” With automation affecting one in five jobs, the world’s information at our fingertips and algorithms making decisions, it will take a powerful imagination to envision breakthroughs and then execute them.

Empathy. Domain knowledge and hard skills will become commoditised. History will show that the more empathetic the leader of an organisation is, and the better their ability to communicate this empathy across a plethora of channels, the higher its growth and productivity rates will be.

Collaboration and influencing. With a contingent workforce made up of non-permanent and remote workers working in the cloud at locations across the planet, tomorrow’s leaders will be less about top-down command and control and more about being adept at influencing diverse groups, collaborating towards a common purpose.

Why:

• We live and work in a cross-functional, multi-disciplined, cross-border, tele-working, tele-present, multi-channel world - we call it the post-communication age. To succeed, to lead in this post-communication age we need a new method to engage, connect, create and collaborate.

• Communication is becoming increasingly complex: constant change, instant connections, fluid relationships.

• Our sophisticated tech world can disengage organisations and individuals from fulfilling potential and connecting effectively with live and virtual audiences.

• Being seen and heard in our digital age requires expertise and an understanding of how to engage in dynamic interaction that inspires.

• To lead, we have to understand the technology that drives the way we communicate and innovate.

• There is a skills gap in this area and a detrimental reliance on cyber comms that helps companies and their people to hide. This has bearing on progress and sustaining high ranking success.

• Globalisation and the rapid development of tech has enhanced connectivity in an unprecedented way.

• The need to understand how to employ all aspects of the means that we use to communicate with others is paramount.

• There has been a dirth of training that uses theory over practice. It is essential that there is balance between the two and that practice is led by trainers that are steeped in the grammar of interactive and dynamic communication.
