Light Up Your Communication On-Screen and In-Person

Our communication-themed coaching meets the challenges of personal communication online and in-person

Participate in open theme webinars and deepen your own topics in the development of communication in personal coaching

In open webinars, we discuss current communication themes. The themes have been selected in the individual and team coaching processes of management and experts. You may be concerned about your own effectiveness, credibility or appearance. You may also be interested in learning how to listen and interact better, either in one-on-one or group situations. Communication can also cause unnecessary tension or stress, or you may over-prepare for situations. Maybe you’re just numb to all the communication under the big flood of messages. The webinars are also good reflective and safe “aquariums” for your own communication.

Light Up focuses especially on identifying and brightening your personal communication image, in different situations and goals, but we also look into other subject areas. In one-on-one coaching, you can get to grips with communication topics that are important to you. This year, in the program, we emphasize screen/web communication as the context of communication. Many of us have moved to spend most of our communication time on a laptop or desktop screen. The virtual communication environment brings new challenges to the quality, effectiveness, experience and workload of communication. We help you find the bottlenecks and opportunities in this media.

Communication on the screen pleases, angers, frustrates and succeeds. It always works in some way. Would you like to make it easier, lighter, brighter and more impressive?

Our Light Up theme training is suitable for you – or your entire team – whose work and the focus of influence at work has shifted to doing things on a screen. Or even for you, who rarely is seen on the screen. Why is screen communication often more burdensome and stressful than face-to-face communication? However, do they have the same characteristics? How could you lighten and improve your work on screen easily? How would you be heard and seen naturally? How would you strengthen the screen effectiveness? Why would you put effort on this thing if no one else…? How and why could you light up and literally shine on the screen?

We handle the subject with long experience, versatile, light and gentle, no one has to “pitch or go on stage” against their will. In the open webinars, you will get the basics, and in the individual coaching, you will be able to deal with the themes that affect you the most. You can also book a free introductory meeting for coaching. We will be happy to tell you more.

About the Light Up themes

• Personal communication image: How you talk to yourself is also reflected to others. So how do you build a positive communication image and utilise your strengths? How can you be naturally, energetically and enthusiastically involved, on screen and present – as yourself?
• Limitations and means of screen/web communication: What is different on the screen than what is present? What things can you take into account and what things you can’t influence? So what should you worry about and what should you not stress about? In this theme, too, we focus on the factors of personal interaction, but we also sidestep technologies!
• Atmosphere and psychological safety: There is a lot of talk about the need for psychological safety, but how can you promote it in practice? What kind of things affect the atmosphere, what disturbs the atmosphere and what kind of atmosphere you yourself strive to build – are you actively aware of it? How do you affect it especially on screen?
• Technology, means of participation and presentation in a group: In this webinar, we will go through with examples what kind of technologies help the group to participate interactively and energetically, in a virtual setting. We won’t cover all possible facilitation methods, we try a few and share the best experiences – creatively.

Be aware of your self-image as a communicator and your opportunities better

It is good to understand what kind of things strengthen our own image as a communicator – in an objective and positive direction. It is always possible to better recognise how your own thoughts, communication style, prejudices (which everyone has), your perception of your possibilities affect your communication. Everyone also has their own positive power, which is useful in communication and can be further strengthened. Everyone’s individually experienced stress affects how easy or burdensome the situation is – there are good ways to make it easier! You can learn for example on the effect of facial expressions, gestures, posture and breathing on the ease and effectiveness of your communication.

Learn how to build more effective content

Have you really thought about what kind of content, structure and effects work best in-person and on-screen? You can learn good preparation routines, editing and enhancing your material, and creative solutions for presenting your content. Sometimes effective content works, sometimes broader reflection, sometimes sound, sometimes image. Let’s explore together how different information (and why) is received and processed.

Light Up – Learn how to be seen and heard more brightly and effectively

Our goal is to find you ways and perspectives to facilitate your communication. On-screen communication is known to be even more burdensome and challenging in the long term if we don’t find new ways to get excited, influence, get influenced, interact and achieve effective results. There are many opinions about the use of the camera, but also a lot of psychological information, why it should be used – and why it should be used more meticulously. We also learn how to make using the camera easier and more rewarding!
