Everyone at CSB is dedicated to offering our clients the very best in behavioural training focussing on real-time practice in a safe, supportive setting, utilising interactive 'skills practice' and training models supported by business psychology in an easily recognisable, accessible and realistic environment leading to direct real-world application.

Our courses are tailored and applied to any level within your business, and we actively support and enable a transparent, collaborative, inclusive, innovative and purposeful development culture - one that contributes to both personal and organisational growth.

All our training is available online, in-person or a combination of both: ‘virtual’ implies something not entirely real… but the digital framework and hybrid working, which we must now embrace, is the new reality – and one that is full of opportunity…

Courses

Communication Skills Business has developed a range of modules and formats to ensure the most successful results across a whole range of industries. Our courses utilise the skills of professional Reactor Trainers, who bring specific skills and corporate knowledge, encouraging participants to experience the issues and the positive solutions in real time, allowing them to ’own’ the results leading to long-term improvements and personal development.

We use proactive engagement in a safe space supported by models including Transactional Analysis, GROW, Insights, Influencing, Push/Pull and others which are incorporated in an easy-to-understand way, giving the individual useful practical tools to support their communication skillset.

CSB has proved that its methodology is more cost, time and result efficient than standard ’chalk and talk’ programmes, and the exceptional feedback from both HR/Training departments and delegates has reinforced these results.

1-2-1 COACHING

Trust is the most important element for successful 1-2-1 coaching.

We are passionate about helping people access their fullest potential and boost their personal impact in a safe, friendly and supportive environment. Whilst there are useful models and tools to enhance and support confident communication, the focus is on the individual - building on your strengths and exploring new opportunities to expand your personal bandwith.

Having worked across a range of industries and sectors, we bring a broad knowledge and insight to many of the day-to-day interactions in the workplace including Difficult Conversations, Coaching, Delivering Bad News, Inspiring Others and Presenting With Confidence.

Most importantly, our coaching is about supporting personal growth…
