No thanks! I just want to speak to Alison

I used to read all situations in a similar way and react to them in the same way that worked for me in the USA. In dealing with difficult situations or persons I used to get really stressed even to the point of on one occasion taking medication to stop my heart racing. My 1:1 communication skills programme with Alison Haill has increased my sense of self efficacy and given me tools and skills that I know will improve results in my professional life and career.

She was very professional but at the same time accessible, supportive and fun to work with. Most importantly she quickly grasped what I wanted to achieve, analysed my current communication skill level and created a programme which made sure I got results. In terms of the value to me over just the next two years of this new skill-set, I have received a massive return on my financial investment in this programme – by a conservative estimate, I would put it at over 900%.

Questions? Have a look

You may have some questions about the specific content of our CLARITY communication and training solutions. So here are the most Frequently Asked Questions. Please contact us for further information

Is the Audit always face to face?
The Audits are normally delivered face to face because this allows us to quickly gain the trust of the client we are working with for just half a day. However, our 1:1 coaching and training is often delivered via Skype and/or telephone and our experience says that the outcomes and learner satisfaction are the same.

As we are an international company and many of our clients come from abroad, we have a very flexible approach so we can provide the best service to those who can’t enjoy the training in the UK. Please ask us if you have other needs or questions.

What is the Impact Gap Model?
The Impact Gap Model is a communication development approach that has been designed by Alison Haill, based on 30 years’ experience working with professionals and leaders worldwide (in Europe, Asia, South America). With our unique profiling tool we evaluate your communication on 3 levels of expertise: Interaction, influence and impact. We have found that by helping you to change just 20% of how you communicate, you can increase impact by 80%. But to start the process we need to know where the current gaps are.
How does The Impact Gap Profile work?
One of our specialist consultants evaluates 3 levels of your communication: interaction, influence and impact, considering the Logical and Emotional aspects as well. We detect where the Impact Gaps are and advise you on how to fill them. By changing certain key elements of your current communication style, you transform the results you get. Depending on your Profile and your objectives, we give you tips and techniques to use at once. We also show you how to work on deep-seated habits to get your influence and impact double.
What is a Communications Skills Audit?
A Communication Skills Audit is a no-obligation full consultation with one of our communication specialists, based on over 30 years of experience in the field of communication. The comprehensive consultation has three parts: the learner, their line-manager (if appropriate) and our specialist consultant. The aim is to carefully analyse the learner’s communication skills with regard to the objectives agreed, report findings and recommend training steps if relevant.
What does a Communication Audit include?
The agenda for this consultation programme starts with a meeting between the client (company), the learner and our specialist consultant. This clarifies objectives, challenges and background details as well as creating a measurable starting point. After this, the consultant spends 2-3 hours with the learner, analysing skills, clarifying problems and gaps, and giving tips, teaching and techniques for immediate use. The consultation ends with a summary of findings and a no-obligation training proposal for deeper training.
What are the benefits of a Communications Audit?

In the Communication Skills Audit you benefit from:

  • Absolute clarity on communication problems, needs and objectives from the individual’s and company’s point of view.
  • As a neutral facilitator of the initial meeting our consultant probes for clarity on the essential points more effectively.
  • Thorough analysis of skills relevant to the objectives agreed. If needed, we run further research to further clarify the situation.
  • Tips and techniques for the learner to use at once
  • Our findings and recommendations regarding strengths and areas for development
  • Our findings and no-obligation training proposal in writing for your reference.

What communications skills do you teach?

We help you in these areas:

  • Business Presentations. Our training helps you improve your delivery, speak with impact and conviction, analyse the audience, plan your presentation and use words effectively to make a positive impact.
  • Clear Speech for Business improves your pronunciation, fluency and confidence in meetings and telephone conferences, as well as in presenting and networking.
  • Business Meetings. You will improve your effectiveness and impact for chairing, presenting and participating in Business Meetings. Learning to interrupt diplomatically, make your point effectively and lead the meeting.
  • Business Writing. We also help you in writing, reviewing or teaching you grammar rules, creating a clear message, reviewing stylistics, proposals, etc.
