Professional Communication

What is professional communication?

Professional communication services target practical skills applied in the specific context of the workplace. Examples of professional communication skills include:

  • Job interviews

  • Presentations

  • Difficult conversations (eg feedback or negotiation)

  • Simplifying detailed or technical information

  • Managing or facilitating meetings

  • Networking or relationship-building skills

  • Written aspects of professional communication

  • Industry-specific communication practice (eg "bedside manner", sales calls, depositions)

The goal of professional communication work is to equip you with both explicit knowledge and practical skills to be a confident, graceful professional. Professionals at all career levels may benefit from time and space to practice these skills. We work with graduating college seniors and C-suite executives alike. 

What happens in professional communication coaching?

Professional communication work typically involves three key components:

  • Increasing knowledge of explicit communication principles (including the contextual factors of your industry/workplace)

  • Learning discrete communication skills to improve confidence and clarity

  • Role-play and practice applying skills using the conceptual and contextual frameworks

Professional communication work can be as minimal as one or two sessions to practice and get feedback on a specific activity, such as a job interview or presentation. Alternatively, some of our clients attend sessions long-term, exploring the depth and breadth of professional communication skills for personal growth and development. Services are always customized to your needs. We are a resource, use us in the way that works best for you.


Professional communication services are considered “coaching” and are not covered by insurance. However, many of our professional clients have their services paid for by their employer. We are happy to work with your company, HR department, or employee training program to develop a package that can be expensed to your employer.
