A plant manager took the flagship INSIDE COMMS workshop "Communication That (Actually) Pays Off."
His facility went from behind schedule to on time.
"When I took the course, our plant was two days behind our target run rate. Now we are caught up. The communication course helped me to communicate the urgency and importance of the situation to the team, which was the catalyst needed for us to solve the issues holding us back."
Plant manager, industrial services company.

Know Your Audience.
Understand who you're talking to, what they need to hear, and why it matters to them.
Our core method: The Three No. 1 Rules of Communication
All tied for No. 1 because they are all equally important
1
Everything Communicates.
Write and speak well. Read the signals coming back at you. Realize that silence is a form of communication.
1
Tell 'Em a Story.
Put any message in a classic story structure so people follow you and understand why.
What participants
take away
Participants leave with one-page templates they can use the same week. A sentence or two of refresher at the top, then space to do the work.

Partway through the session, each participant names a communication challenge from their own job.
2
Apply it in the room
They apply the method to it while we're there to coach them through it.
3
Practice with
INSIDE COMMS AI
Participants can practice what they learned with AI roleplays and get instant feedback. Private. On-demand. Unlimited.

Common questions
How many people can attend?
One to 20 works best, especially for the interactive exercises. Above 20 there is an additional fee, because larger rooms need a different approach to the hands-on portions.
How long is a session?
Half a day. That block can be split across two days, run back-to-back, or scheduled a week apart. Tell us what the calendar looks like and we will work inside it.
What does it cost?
We quote a fixed fee for the session before anything is booked. Ask and you'll have a number the same day.
Do you train in person or virtually?
Both. The live courses run either way. The eleven INSIDE COMMS Plus courses cover teams that need something beyond the workshop.
How far in advance do we need to book?
As close as seven days out. Tighter than that is sometimes possible for an additional fee, though prep can suffer when there is no time to learn how your organization works.
What do participants take away?
A one-page template for each concept covered. One or two sentences of refresher at the top, then structured space to do the work, formatted so the template itself reminds them of the concept.
How do you measure whether the training worked?
Participants name a real communication challenge from their own job during the session, then apply the method to it while we are still in the room. That named challenge becomes the measurement. We follow up later to find out whether it got solved.
Can you customize the content for our industry?
Some of the content is customizable to address your specific industry or challenges. Exercises start with fictional case studies so people can practice without pressure, then move to their real work. That part is where we learn what is getting in the way at your organization.
Does this integrate with our LMS?
Yes. The e-learning courses are SCORM-compatible and load into your existing system.
