Enhancing Communication & Collaboration Workshop
Effective communication and collaboration are the foundations of every successful team — and just as vital between leaders and managers as they are among colleagues.
The Orangeworks Enhancing Communication workshop equips participants with the skills, awareness, and practical tools needed to communicate more effectively and work better together. Through hands-on problem-solving and engaging group activities, participants explore communication styles, non-verbal cues, and common barriers to effective communication.
A key focus of the workshop is active listening. Participants are introduced to the RASA Listening Framework (Receive, Appreciate, Summarise, Ask), a simple and practical model that helps individuals listen with greater intention, improve clarity, and build trust. By developing these listening behaviours, teams can reduce misunderstandings, strengthen relationships, and collaborate more effectively.
Workshop Outline:
Welcome & Icebreaker – An icebreaker/energiser to set the tone and connect the grou
Interactive Learning Session – Participants explore key communication behaviours, including the RASA Listening Framework, and apply these skills through an experiential activity that highlights how listening, trust, and clear messaging impact team performance.
Reflection & Insights – Guided debrief with team reflections, feedback, and actionable strategies for improving communication styles and collaborative habits. (Team Assessment Tool or DiSC Assessment can also be used to guide the debrief)
If your team has already experienced our recommended activity, we’ll be happy to suggest an alternative that aligns with the workshop objectives.
