The ability to recognise and regulate these behaviours are key drivers in having high functioning work environments. Discover how you and your team can tackle challenges head on.

Connecting to what matters to us supports our ability to undertake stress. This has so many applications in business. From client relationships, internal communication, feedback systems, intrinsic motivation for the work we do, and connecting us to our colleagues. Just as Simon Sinek challenges bus

We’ve been around for a while, facilitated a few workshops and talked to many professionals in Invercargill. We’ve listened, and found out they’re not alone:

A silent problem is growing with more people avoiding picking up and speaking on the phone. A recent poll from telecommunication company Uswitch (UK) found that 25% of 18 - 34-year-olds have never answered their phone. This leads to frustration in professional contexts.

At shapecutter we have been drawing on our experience in psychology, education and performance to meet this challenge head-on. Now we’ve got you covered and are excited to announce our Pick Up, Speak Up Phone Confidence Workshop.

In this workshop, participants will:
- experience strategies and techniques to become confident phone talkers over time
- understand why speaking on the phone is being avoided
- learn about the relevance and value of verbal communication

shapecutter offers Pick Up, Speak Up on the 26th of June, 1:00-4:30 pm at the Southland Business Chamber, 25 Don St, Invercargill. More about the workshop and bookings on our website https://www.shapecutter.nz/phone-confidence
