Unlocking Team Communication

TCD Webinar facilitated by Emma Wraighte

Strong teams are built on effective communication, yet many HR professionals, managers and leaders find themselves facing challenges with individuals or teams that simply don’t seem to connect.

We often hear comments such as, “I’ve tried everything, but I just can’t get through to them.” These situations arise across all sectors and can leave even experienced professionals feeling frustrated and unsure of how to move forward.

The challenge is often intensified by remote and hybrid working, as well as teams operating across different countries, cultures and communication preferences. Small misunderstandings can create friction that gradually builds over time, impacting relationships, collaboration and performance.

In this interactive workshop, we will explore how communication styles influence the way we work with others and why understanding our own communication preferences is the first step towards improving team effectiveness. Through practical reflection and discussion, we will examine simple yet powerful questions that can help unlock communication barriers and strengthen working relationships.

This session is ideal for HR professionals, people managers and leaders who support teams and individuals within their organisation.
