Effective Communication Anywhere: Putting Your Words to Work

A Communication & Feedback Workshop for First Responders, Leaders and Professionals

Great leadership starts with clear communication; especially when the stakes are high. This 4-hour interactive workshop is designed for professionals, first responders, and leaders who want to communicate with clarity, confidence, and care—even under pressure.

Whether you're giving feedback, navigating conflict, or trying to stay present when emotions are high, this session gives you real-world tools to put your words to work in a way that builds trust and strengthens connection.

What You’ll Learn:

The Think–Feel–Do Lens: How to recognize your internal response before you speak

Engaged Listening Under Pressure: Skills to stay grounded, curious, and open

Feedback That Builds, Not Breaks: Practicing feedback that’s both kind and direct

Addressing Conflict with Clarity: Saying what needs to be said and holding people accountable—without harm

Real-Life Leadership Reps: Leave with practical tools and a renewed confidence

What Makes This Different?

This isn’t another “how to communicate” lecture. You’ll:

✔ Practice communication with peer partners in small groups

✔ Work through real-world leadership scenarios

✔ Experience active listening tools and feedback frameworks

✔ Walk away with a set of practical, repeatable tools you can use immediately

ABOUT CORE LEADERSHIP:

Core Leadership is a 501(c)(3) and was founded to address the unique challenges faced by first responders in accessing professional development. The demanding hours, financial barriers, and societal stigmas often prevent first responders from receiving the same opportunities for growth and leadership development as leaders in other fields, such as those in Fortune 100 companies.

Our mission extends beyond first responders; we believe civilians also benefit from development opportunities that enhance understanding, build empathy, and strengthen relationships with those who serve their communities. By offering programs designed to bridge these divides, Core Leadership works to create environments where trust and respect flourish.

Through evidence-based training approaches and community collaboration, Core Leadership equips first responders and civilians with the skills to lead courageously, communicate effectively, and build stronger, more compassionate communities together.
