Your team needs facilitators who can earn credibility quickly, understand the realities of your people’s workplace and deliver learning experiences that lead to meaningful change.
Every member of our team has built a career in the world of communication, broadcasting, financial markets, consulting, technology, leadership or organisational development. They bring that experience into the room, so your learning always connects to your workplace.
Delivered to teams in the public sector and third sector as well as technology, fintech, FMCG, banking, insurance, utilities, professional services, scientific bodies and membership associations.
At Coca Cola HBC, our people are our greatest strength. We value inclusion, integrity and accountability, and want to empower everyone in our team to have a voice.
That means that our annual All-Company Conferences are transformational for our business. These are events where management has the opportunity to tune in and listen to the wider team, and everyone in the team has the chance to reconnect with one another and our shared mission.
Our Senior Leadership Team has worked with Bespoke Communications for a number of years to support our conferences. They give us new ideas to bring concepts to life, and support us with great storytelling approaches to make our message meaningful. Their perspective helps us to look differently at our communication, and that means that we connect in a completely different way from the stage.
To maximise your investment in your next townhall, company conference, our public speaking engagement, I recommend that you work alongside Bespoke Communications to develop messages that connect, motivate and drive change.
Bespoke Communications designed and delivered a bespoke programme for our team. Our objectives were stretching, and they took time to address them. They were thoughtful about ensuring the programme achieved a good blend of theory and practical application. The learning experience itself was enjoyable and interactive.
The acid test – have we all learned and actioned something? Happy to report that we each took away some new tools, perspectives or tactics that we regularly put into practice.
We recently engaged Bespoke Communications to design a bespoke programme for our managers focused on building the confidence, presence and impact needed to engage external partners.
The programme was expertly facilitated by Camilla Long, who quickly connected with the group and created a supportive yet challenging environment for each of them. She encouraged the team to reflect on their purpose, let go of self-doubt and trust the process. The team learnt practical approaches they continue to apply, including with the use of CoPilot.
The programme was genuinely transformative. Her approach had a powerful impact on everyone who attended. We would wholeheartedly recommend Bespoke Communications to any organisation looking to empower their staff and unlock their confidence and potential.
Due to continued growth at Outscape, we we engaged Bespoke Communications to propel our approach to communications to new heights. We have a wide range of stakeholder audiences within tourism, local and national government.
I was hugely impressed how the team took time to gain a detailed understanding of our needs as an organisation and indeed individuals.
The insights and techniques gained during our workshops have transformed our team’s mindset and approach to communications within our increasingly complex projects.
Bespoke Communications has been a valued partner to the Doctoral College at Ulster University for many years. They support us with communication and presenting skills for our researcher community. Our researchers value the way that they make the workshops relevant and interesting specifically for researchers, and not offering a generic training session.
The Bespoke team has been a great partners to Ulster University in the annual 3MT ® competition. Our researchers feel more confident going into the competition as Bespoke give them behind-the-scenes access to tools and techniques from experienced professional speakers and broadcasters. I enjoy working with Bespoke Communications, and am pleased to recommend their services.
