Corporate Communication Training
Help Your Team Speak Up, Own the Room, and Drive Results
Workshops and training programs for L&D leaders who want to invest in their team's communication skills
Your team is smart. Technically excellent. Capable of great work.
But in meetings:
They stay silent or ramble
Presentations lack impact
New managers don't sound like leaders
Result: Talent isn't translating into visibility, influence, or results.
Corporate Communication Training from Top Leader Lab gives your team the frameworks, confidence, and practice they need to communicate like leaders.
You've Hired Great People But They Can't Communicate Their Value
Sound familiar?
In Meetings:
Mid-level professionals ramble and lose their audience
Senior team members dominate while others fade into the background
Good ideas die in the room because no one can articulate them clearly
In Presentations:
Team members read slides word-for-word
Technical concepts don't land with non-technical stakeholders
Q&A sessions turn into awkward silences or defensive responses
In Feedback Conversations:
New managers sugarcoat until their message disappears
Performance issues don't get addressed directly
Team members avoid difficult conversations for weeks (or months)
In Cross-Functional Collaboration:
Technical teams can't explain their work to business stakeholders
Product teams can't align with engineering on priorities
Customer-facing teams can't communicate value propositions clearly
And It's Costing Your Organization
❌ Wasted Talent
Your best people aren't getting promoted because they can't articulate their value.
❌ Inefficient Meetings
30-minute meetings stretch to 90 minutes because people don't know how to structure their thoughts.
❌ Misalignment
Teams work on the wrong priorities because communication gaps create confusion.
❌ Lost Revenue
Client pitches fail because your team can't articulate your solution compellingly.
❌ Leadership Pipeline Problems
New managers struggle because no one taught them how to delegate, give feedback, or inspire their teams.
❌ Employee Turnover
High performers leave because they feel invisible, unheard, or stuck.
Communication isn't a "soft skill."
It's a business-critical skill.
Organizations that invest in communication training see:
35% increase in employee engagement (teams feel heard and valued)
40% reduction in meeting time (structured communication = faster decisions)
50% improvement in cross-functional collaboration (teams understand each other)
Faster promotion cycles (managers can articulate their team's value to leadership)

Your competitors are investing in this. You should too.
Proven Communication Frameworks Your Team Can Use Immediately
Unlike generic "soft skills training," Top Leader Lab workshops teach repeatable frameworks your team can apply the next day.
Your team will learn:
Framework 1: ACTION Code
For delegation, team updates, and inspiring action
Use this when your team needs to:
Delegate work clearly (no more "I thought you said...")
Give project updates that keep stakeholders engaged
Motivate teams to take action
Example transformation:
Before: 10-minute rambling update that loses the room
After: 90-second structured message that everyone understands
Framework 2: PREP Framework
For persuasion, recommendations, and influencing decisions
Use this when your team needs to:
Convince stakeholders to approve a project
Recommend a strategic direction
Influence cross-functional decisions
The 4-part structure:
Point: State your recommendation up front
Reason: Why this matters
Evidence: Prove it with data
Point: Restate and call to action
Example transformation:
Before: Wishy-washy suggestion that gets ignored
After: Clear recommendation that gets approved
Framework 3: SHIFT Method
For storytelling, case studies, and making ideas memorable
Use this when your team needs to:
Explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences
Share project retrospectives
Make client case studies compelling
The 5-part structure:
Situation: Set the scene
Hurdle: Introduce the problem
Insight: What you learned
Feeling: Move people emotionally
Transformation: The result
Example transformation:
Before: Boring project update no one remembers
After: Compelling story that gets shared across the organization
