Who it is for
For managers who want the real conversation, sooner.
Most managers were promoted for doing the work well, not for talking about it. This workshop gives them practice in the part of the job no tool can do for them.
New and rising managers
Practice listening first and speaking as a leader before the habits of avoiding hard conversations set in.
Manager cohorts
Give a whole cohort a shared language, so the same habits show up across teams.
ERG and team leads
Help the people who hold teams together speak up with more ease and less hiding.
What the workshop covers

Questions planners ask
Manager communication workshop FAQ
What is a communication workshop for managers?
It is a hands-on session where managers practice the conversations that build trust: listening first, inviting people to speak up, and saying the real thing early. Kit Pang's version runs 2 to 4 hours with live practice.
How many managers can attend?
The half-day workshop is designed for up to 40 participants, which keeps live practice personal. For a larger audience, pair a keynote with the workshop at the same event.
How long is the workshop?
The workshop runs 2 to 4 hours. Teams that want the change to stick can extend it into a 1 to 3 month Human Organization program with BostonSpeaks coaches.
How much does leadership communication training with Kit cost?
A half-day workshop starts at $12,500 for 2 to 4 hours and up to 40 participants. A keynote plus workshop at the same event starts at $16,000.
Can the workshop be virtual?
Yes. Kit runs workshops live on Zoom or your platform, built for interaction, as well as in person.
Is this different from a presentation skills class?
Yes. Skills are easy to find, so Kit works on the belief underneath the nerves. That way managers keep using what they practiced in the next meeting, not just on the day.
Who has Kit trained?
Kit and the BostonSpeaks team have trained more than 12,000 leaders across 65+ organizations, including teams at Intel, Liberty Mutual, Bank of America, ASICS, HubSpot and MIT Technology Review.
