Be Brave! Confident Communication, Personal Growth and Great Relationships

The Cumbria Institute of Insurance and Financial Planning invites you to join us at the Wild Boar Estate. Undermillbeck for light refreshments from 5pm before beginning Michael Quigley's workshop on the topic of Being Brave! Confidence Communication, Personal Growth and Great Relationships. We would love for you to join us as we continually strive to offer learning and growth opportunities for our members.

Confidence isn’t something you are born with- it’s something you can build.

Whether you are speaking up in meetings, having difficult conversations, giving feedback, presenting to clients or simply introducing yourself to new people, courage and communication are skills that can be developed.

In this interactive and inspiring workshop, Michael Quigley from Kataholos explores how we can become braver communicators whilst continuing to grow in a healthy and sustainable way. Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, education, leadership and real-life stories, you’ll leave with practical techniques that can be applied immediately in both your professional and personal life.

Timings for the evening:

5pm - 6pm - light refreshments/buffet

6pm - 8pm - CPD session

Part One Building Courage That Lasts

Discover how lasting confidence comes from creating the right environment for growth rather than simply forcing yourself outside your comfort zone.

You’ll explore:

• How to create psychological safety through safe talk, safe spaces and safe people.
• How to expand your comfort zone in a sustainable way without burning out.
• Practical strategies for recovery, resilience and long-term personal growth.

Part Two Communicating With Confidence

Learn how to communicate clearly, courageously and compassionately, even in challenging situations.

You’ll explore:

• Practical approaches for handling difficult conversations with greater confidence.
• How to get the best from face-to-face and online communication, as well as synchronous and asynchronous conversations.
• How to help your message land positively by reducing barriers to communication using ideas such as Stephen Krashen’s Affective Filter.
• Inspiring examples of bravery and communication from remarkable individuals throughout history.
• Opportunities to practise courageous communication in a supportive and psychologically safe environment with fellow delegates.

As always, the session will be delivered in Michael’s engaging and energetic style, combining practical tools, thought-provoking discussion, humour and inspiring stories that participants can immediately put into practice.
