Communication is LEADERSHIP
Until recently, the body has been the missing link in business, where the main focus has always been on intellectual knowledge and hard skills.
The HR Research Institute found that more than 85% agreed soft skills, such as communication, executive presence, team building and psychological safety, are more important to long-term success, and delivers a higher ROI than hard skills.
Developing an embodied toolkit of skills improves the individuals verbal and non-verbal communication, executive presence, emotional intelligence, personal resilience, develops psychological safety, ability to deal with conflict and adaptable to solve problems.
Investing in training of soft skills offers a greater ROI, driving loyalty as well as employee satisfaction and retention. Wise for long-term business success.

As soon as you meet El, as she prefers to be called - it’s less formal - you are welcomed with both professional wisdom and warmth. El is the real deal. She is organised, professional and savvy in this fascinating text realm. Plus being really fun to hang out with - not to mention a mum to two young boys and a loving wife.
