Why Communication Coaching Matters: Unleashing Your Full Communication Potential
Too many ideas, businesses and individuals fail to succeed not because they don’t warrant success, but, too often, because they fail to communicate their vision. They fail to articulate the heart of their idea and, unfortunately, good ideas that aren’t understood become indistinguishable from bad ideas.
FOREFRONT COACHING
Forefront Coaching was born from the desire to meet and exceed potential. Good ideas deserve to be heard. Great ideas are the ones that stay with us. Many of us struggle to communicate in such a way that our message is not only heard, but, more importantly, understood and remembered. This isn’t always instinctive. Like many of us, Forefront Coaching founder, Mike, grew increasingly frustrated leaving rooms unheard; feeling as though there was more to give;
“I was feeling like I'd only given 60% of myself and I didn't know why.”
Mike’s feeling is not uncommon. When asked how effectively they presented themselves in pitch sessions, interviews, and meetings, 83% of UK respondents agreed to feeling dissatisfied with their ability to sell themselves or communicate their vision.
Communication coaching allows you to craft your message, raise your voice, and reach your audience. Working with the team at Forefront Coaching, you will develop techniques to ensure you leave each room with the confidence that you shared your idea with clarity and purpose. Working with one of our communication coaches, you will master the skills and develop tools to leave rooms satisfied that you gave 100%.
YOUR VISION, YOUR VOICE
This isn’t learning to walk and talk again, or developing an entirely new way of communicating. We all have a voice, and it is our mission at Forefront Coaching to amplify yours.
Good ideas deserve thoughtful, disciplined narratives to cut through the noise and gain warranted attention. One of our dedicated communications coaches will work with you to understand your goals. Using traditional and modern storytelling devices, they will enhance your message, giving you the freedom to unlock your full potential.
Our team will work to develop your sense of storytelling, making your message memorable and designed to leave a lasting impression on your audience. Whether delivering your story to a large crowd, boardroom, or individual, our story-driven approach is focussed on guiding your incredible ideas to reach their target with accuracy and vibrancy.
REACHING YOUR AUDIENCE
It is easy to focus on our personal struggles within our communications shortfall; easy to zoom in on how we are coming across and might be perceived. At Forefront Coaching we will work with you to ensure the focus remains on your audience.
Storytelling is what sets us apart from animals. For as long as we first gathered round fires, we have shared stories, bonded and engaged with our communities through unifying tales. As humans, we are hard-wired to seek out stories. We invest our emotions and hopes in stories, and rejoice in their satisfying conclusions.
The team at Forefront Coaching will help you to find the story within your message, and introduce you to classic storytelling techniques that have endured through time immemorial. Finding the nucleus of a narrative within your communication aims not only gives you the structure to deliver your message with confidence, it allows your audience to engage with your story in a memorable and digestible fashion. Great ideas can be memorable, but great stories bear repeating and will remain with your audience long after you’ve left the room.
Mike and the team at Forefront Coaching have decades of theatre, film and television experience behind them but our mission isn’t to turn your pitch into a Netflix special or interpretive dance, it is about developing your core understanding of storytelling fundamentals and enhancing your sense of the audience.
It can be tough, when pitching to investors, or presenting new ideas to a client to move your focus away from the things you need; what you want out of this meeting; what your business needs from the investor. This internal focus can often be detrimental, and undermines your ability to communicate to your audience. Thinking about your audience in relation to the story you are delivering keeps your focus on the fundamentals within your narrative and guarantees a gratifying conclusion.
FOREFRONT COACHING AND YOU
In your first session with a communications coach, we will help identify your communications goals and existing communications threshold. We will identify the narrative heart of your message and work with you to build this into a satisfying story you will love to share; finding the joy in communicating your narrative and developing your communications skills so you will become the messenger your message deserves.
