Training & Development

Transforming people through powerful communication training

Rowland TRAINING and DEVELOPMENT

Leadership, relationships, culture and reputation all hinge on communication. It’s about what happens in the ‘moment of truth’ when we interact with our stakeholders — moments that can impact individual and organisational success.

Rowland’s Training and Development team can teach you how to communicate with influence and impact, and positively manage your moments of truth.

We offer a wide range of practical courses that give participants the tools, tips and techniques — and ultimately the confidence — to have more meaningful, successful interactions.

We tell our clients practice makes perfect, and we’ve had lots! We’ve trained more than 10,000 people to communicate with influence and impact, and — as practitioners — every day we put ourselves through the same paces as our clients.

Our trainers and facilitators come from diverse backgrounds — communication, marketing, journalism, customer service, corporate leadership, stakeholder engagement, acting and coaching — and are subject-matter experts who, through our communication training, share what we do every day for our clients.

Whether you need to deliver a powerful presentation, navigate a challenging conversation, improve your writing skills or nail that media interview, our Communicate with Influence courses will set you up for success.

Our highly tailored and practical courses are run in small and large groups or one-on-one — ensuring you come away with the tools, tips and confidence you need to communicate with influence.
