Whether you are convincing your colleagues about your point of view or persuading a customer to try out your product or service, the ability to communicate with impact is a critical skill. In this program, we explore strategies to understand you audience and structure your message for maximum impact.

Learning Journey: The workshop will be divided into three parts

• Pre-workshop (30 minutes): Short introduction to WWH, Power of 3, and Ethos, Pathos, Logos
• Day 1: Live Workshop (3 hours): Driven through short exercises, games, and simulations
• Day 2: Live Workshop (optional 3 hours): Driven through short exercises, games, and simulations
• Post-workshop Connect and Assessment (1 hour): Self-paced simulations and assignment

Day 1

Skill Drill 1: Agenda Based Communication (1 hour)

The first step in crafting a message to understand the audience and define your agenda/objective. In this session, participants work on short case exercises to define the:

• Who: Target audience?
• What: The intended outcome
• How: the medium of the message

Methodology: Short case-based exercises

Skill Drill 2: Understand Ethos, Pathos, Logos (30 minutes)

The best messages come from a credible source and engage both the head and the heart. In this session, participants explore the core concept behind Ethos (credibility), Pathos (emotions), and Logos (logic) and use these to craft the right message for their target audience.

Methodology: Group processes
