Slack Communications

Communications with a social conscience

Training and Coaching

Need to improve your team’s communications skills?

Training and team-building

Do you have specific skills you need to develop? Do you need time and space to think clearly? Do you recognise the value of getting out of your usual environment and spending time somewhere new? When it comes to training and team-building, the Slack Communications collective has been there and done it, and is ready to share best practice and provide practical advice. We know how to educate, engage and enthuse you and your staff. We know how to help you hone your craft and equip you with the tools of the trade.

What you will receive

We offer bespoke or packaged training and professional development opportunities; across a day, half-day or as a breakfast or evening session. We tailor our workshops to meet your needs and resource constraints. Workshops can be delivered on your own premises, or at an external training venue in the UK, France or Belgium.  

We deliver training in the following disciplines:

  • The fundamentals of marketing and communications strategy
  • Effective use of digital and social media for marketing and communications
  • The important (but different roles) of words and images in storytelling
  • How to write for business audiences (writing for the web, for social media, case studies, news stories)
  • How to secure media coverage about your organisation
  • Crisis comms: how to respond to negative coverage
  • Creative writing

“Vic has been a brilliant source of wisdom, support and guidance over the last few months. Since we began working together I’ve learnt a huge amount from her coaching. She has always been a pleasure to work with, helping to make significant projects a manageable and enjoyable experience.”
