Soundway’s SixComm™, or SixC, is a workshop series designed from the ground up to address the shortfalls in communication skills that hold back executives and the organizations that engage them. It comprises six 1-day or half-day sessions, designed to be run in sequence over any pre-determined period that works for organizations.
SixComm is about using superior communication skills as a strategic corporate & professional tool for advantage and growth.
Taking a whole-person approach, SixC begins with a brain optimization session that will recharge participants, and bring them up to speed about scientifically sound techniques to be happy, energetic and productive. This is followed by fast-paced, effective sessions on communication and interpersonal relationship skills respectively. Next, we teach the fundamentals of dynamic listening as a strategic tool. With this foundation laid, and interpersonal familiarities built up, participants next learn highly effective techniques to overcome the fear of speaking in public in our presentations skills session. Skills that will have you presenting like a pro. We close out our SixC series with an eye opening, practical session on body language and non-verbal communication.
SixC is designed specifically with the intention of developing Asian executives into global leaders. It is the only program of its type that focuses on building confidence and eliminating fear of communication (private and public), while supporting & understanding Asian sensitivities. SixC bridges the gap between local and global. And we do this without force feeding a purely western approach, which is known to be counter productive in many cases. SixC builds confidence, offers a communication framework that works and leads to competence at the highest levels. It develops an organization of people who stand out because of their noticeable communication skills, and sets a high bar for others to follow.
