Communication is everything! In every interaction you have, it’s not what you communicate, it’s how you communicate that makes all the difference
All programs have the same end goal: Developing clear and confident communication skills regardless of the setting and situation.
To that end, Talk Shop’s programs are now available online and in person!
First Impressions
HS WA revOur highly collaborative workshops for high school students develop key habits that build solid communication skills. These pivotal life skills will truly be a differentiator as they navigate this chapter of their lives and also set them up for future success
In our group workshops, all our foundational elements are covered, including:
- How to be understood and how to understand others
- The 3 C’s of effective communication (Clear, Concise and Confident)Why it’s important to have more face-to-face conversations across all settings
- How to have hard and difficult conversations with others
- The do’s and don’ts of social media and much more!
“First Impressions” is designed specifically to support the growth of these crucial life skills. Not only to boost academic results, but to also improve the way students communicate within their family sphere, within their social circles, and of course to be ready for whatever life throws their way!
Workshops can accommodate up to 25 over zoom and 75 participants in person and typically last 60 minutes.
Lasting Impressions
Career readiness for college students, group workshops or private one-on-one sessions. The focus is on how to articulate your brand (or how to create your brand if you don’t one), how to start to network, how to leverage your network if you have one, and how to present your unique “story” when given the opportunity.
This course is also available online, accessible anytime!
