Join us for a thought-provoking online session with Gordon MacLelland, CEO and founder of Working With Parents in Sport (WWPIS), as we explore what it takes to become a Super Communicator — someone who handles challenging conversations with clarity, confidence, and impact.
In this session, Gordon draws on his extensive experience in coaching, education, and high-performance environments to help you:
- Develop the core skills of Super Communicators
- Build an effective communication strategy
- Plan for and manage difficult conversations
- Maintain the integrity of the coaching and support chain
- Recognise and manage “The Chimp” — the emotional brain in action
- Understand the influence of informal conversations
- Review and reflect with purpose
Whether you’re a teacher, coach, parent, leader or part of a support network, this session will offer powerful tools and insights to strengthen communication in high-pressure environments.
