The Communication Dynamics Lab teaches one core communication framework that can be applied to almost any interaction at work. By the end of the day, participants will have practiced:
● Listening as the foundation Tuning attention outward so they can respond to people and situations in real time.
● Simple, predictable structures Using clear patterns so messages land and can be remembered under pressure.
● Organic, authentic delivery Bringing the message to life in a way that feels human and aligned with their own style.
● A clear point of view Knowing what they are actually saying and why it matters so their communication has weight.
The emphasis is on a repeatable method, not a one time script. Once learned, it can be applied to any topic, role, or environment.
What Happens During The Day
A typical one day Communication Dynamics Lab includes:
● Core warm up exercises Fast, interactive drills that wake up listening, presence, and responsiveness.
● Teaching of the CDL communication framework Participants are introduced to the core elements of the method in clear, practical steps.
● Guided practice with varied work situations Short scenarios and prompts drawn from common workplace interactions are used to give multiple reps with the framework. These are designed to be broadly relevant so
participants can easily connect them to their own roles.
● Feedback, reflection, and refinement Reps are followed by focused feedback on behavior, clarity, and impact, along with time to adjust and try again.
● Integration and next steps Participants identify key conversations and situations in their own world where they will deliberately apply the framework after the lab.
The focus throughout is on learning and owning the method, so people leave with something they can use the next day in many different contexts.
Outcomes For You and Your Organization
After this one day lab, you can expect participants to:
● Communicate more clearly and confidently in a wide range of situations
● Structure their thinking faster so meetings, updates, and conversations are easier to follow
● Reduce communication waste by cutting down on confusing, rambling, or misaligned messages
● Show up as better listeners who can respond to people rather than just deliver content
● Model a more human, values aligned way of speaking that supports culture and strategy
Over time, as more people share the same communication framework, organizations see smoother collaboration, faster understanding, and fewer breakdowns caused by unclear messages.
The Communication Dynamics Lab: A psychologically safe, in-person training lab to practice and master human communication at work
Athletes have a practice field. Actors have a rehearsal room.
Most of us in the business world have neither.
The Communication Dynamics Lab gives people what they are missing: a structured, psychologically safe environment where they can learn and practice a simple, repeatable communication framework that applies to every human interaction at work.
Instead of teaching one presentation or one scripted conversation, the lab builds a portable method that participants can carry into one to ones, team meetings, presentations, performance conversations, and informal moments in the hallway.
Who This Is For
This one day lab is designed for organizations that want to raise the communication baseline across a critical layer, such as:
● People leaders and middle managers
● High potential and emerging leaders
● Cross functional project or program teams
● Customer facing, stakeholder facing, or internal influencer roles
It fits especially well where culture, strategy, impact, or change messages need to be carried clearly and consistently by many different leaders.
What Makes It Psychologically Safe
Psychological safety in the lab means participants can experiment with new ways of communicating, receive honest feedback, and make mistakes without fear of embarrassment or career risk.
The design of the lab creates that climate through:
● Clear framing as practice, not performance
● Flattened hierarchy in the room, where everyone is treated as a learner
● Simple, predictable exercises so everyone understands the task and timing
● Structured, behavior focused feedback that is invited, not dumped on people
● Short, high repetition activities that build skill without putting anyone on the spot for long
Participants know what they are doing, why they are doing it, and that mistakes are expected and protected. That frees them to push their range and try new approaches they can later take back to real work.
