TRAINING WORKSHOPS

Porcupine Communications offers workshops that suit the needs of our clients. In programs derived from the book, “How Do You Pet A Porcupine?” and using other material developed and packaged especially for training, our team of professionals will assess the needs of your organization and make solid, informed recommendations as to whether a one- or two-day workshop will provide the best results. Ranging from three hours to two days, the workshops help executives, managers and associates identify their communications problems and begin the process of solving them. Contracts can also include Executive & Life Coaching to further increase the organization’s successful use of the principles in Roger’s book.

The objectives of the workshops are to give every participant a solid understanding of what influences their ability to communicate. We will provide a step-by-step process that can be easily applied and that will help participants develop a pattern of behavior that supports the process and maintain an attitude that promotes effective communication.

We at Porcupine Communications want to share our wealth of knowledge and know-how. Our team of professionals have built a “Train the Trainer” program that will prepare professional trainers, facilitators and HR professionals and others to best apply Roger’s book to their organization’s communication challenges.

The workshops utilize one of the seven vital communications tools described in Roger Hall’s book: listening. Really listening. “We listen to people telling their stories, and we each compare them to our own,” Hall says. “By the strategic use of stories, we reach all corners of the organization.” Listen to the stories pour forth, and watch the porcupine’s quills recede …

The “Train the Trainer” program will also be available on video soon. Please contact Karen@porcupinecommunications.com for further information.
