Build Effective Communication Skills with our Communication Coaching
Skills For Life Academy Communication Workshop & Coaching
Welcome to the Skills for Life Academy's transformative course on Empowering Communication, a comprehensive program designed specifically for parents of young adults. We understand the unique challenges and dynamics that exist within parent-child relationships, and our aim is to empower you, the parent, and your young adult to cultivate open and effective lines of communication.
​
Communication lies at the heart of every relationship, shaping connections, understanding, and growth. However, in the fast-paced and often chaotic world we live in, it is easy for communication to become strained, superficial, or even confrontational. This course is designed to address these common pitfalls and equip you with the tools and knowledge needed to navigate conversations with authenticity, empathy, and respect. Together, we will embark on a 12-week journey that will empower you to shed your masks, embrace authenticity, and communicate with genuine openness.
Our 12 Week Communication Program
Week 1
Unmasking Your True Identity
In this Week, you will delve deep into self-discovery, exploring who you are when uninterrupted. We often find ourselves wearing masks in our interactions, conforming to societal expectations and avoiding conflict. By peeling away these layers, you will reconnect with your authentic self and learn to communicate from a place of honesty and vulnerability.
Week 2
Understanding NLP Meta Programs and Behavioral Profiles
​Building on the foundation of authentic communication, this week introduces you to basic Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) meta programs and behavioural profiles. By understanding the underlying patterns that shape the behaviour and thinking of others, you will gain insights into why some individuals may struggle to understand you. This knowledge will enhance your ability to adapt your communication style and bridge the gap between diverse perspectives.
Week 3
Identifying and Managing Triggers
This week, we focus on identifying personal triggers that hinder effective communication. By recognising and understanding these triggers, you will gain the tools needed to prevent them from derailing conversations. Through practical exercises and techniques, you will learn how to respond rather than react, fostering healthier and more constructive communication dynamics.
Week 4
Healing Childhood Wounds and Breaking Barriers
Childhood experiences can significantly impact our communication styles and relationships. In this week, we address any lingering wounds from your past that may be influencing your present communication patterns. By exploring these issues, you will be able to heal old wounds, break down emotional barriers, and cultivate a more nurturing and empathetic approach to communication.
Week 5
Establishing Healthy Boundaries
Effective communication requires clear boundaries. This week, we guide you through the process of establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries that both parties can respect. By setting these boundaries, you will create an environment where open dialogue and mutual understanding can flourish.

By integrating this joyful spirit into your communication, you will foster an environment that encourages exploration, growth, and mutual understanding.
Week 9
Taming Your Inner Voice
Our inner voice can often be our harshest critic, stifling our confidence and hindering effective communication.

By quieting your self-doubt, you will become a more resilient and confident communicator.
Week 10
