Communication in Action! — Workshop 3

Say What You Mean

Have you ever talked for five minutes… …and then realised you still haven't actually said what you wanted to say? 😅 Sometimes we add more words because we're trying to be clear. But more words don't necessarily make things clearer. Sometimes they just give the important part more places to hide. Being clear doesn't mean saying more. Often, it means finding the point. In this workshop, we'll explore what makes communication clear, what gets in the way, and how to find the thing you actually want the other person to understand. We'll practise turning long explanations into clear messages, noticing when we're avoiding the point, and finding ways to say what we mean without making it bigger—or harsher—than it needs to be. Because clarity isn't about having the perfect words. It's about knowing what you're trying to say. And then saying it. Format: 90 minutes Audience: Open to the public — no previous attendance required Approach: Short explanations + practical exercises + role-play + observation + feedback + real-world application
