Last Friday, 29 May, marked Blooming Supports’ second workshop: Talk. Listen. Thrive. – A Workplace Communication Workshop. We welcomed 10 participants, all eager to strengthen their communication skills while connecting with others they may not have previously met.
Throughout the session, participants focused on developing more effective communication techniques. By the end of the workshop, many reported feeling more confident not only in expressing themselves, but also in actively listening, observing, and asking questions they may have previously felt unsure about.
The group engaged in meaningful discussions around clear versus confusing communication. Together, participants worked to refine unclear statements and questions, exploring ways to make them more effective. These conversations led to practical ideas for applying clearer communication in both workplace and educational settings.
One of the highlights of the workshop was a paired activity where participants sat back-to-back and took turns describing an image for their partner to draw. This exercise emphasised the importance of giving clear, explicit instructions and demonstrated just how easily misunderstandings can occur. It quickly became a crowd favourite—highly engaging and a great way to build connection within the group.
We’re excited to continue building on this momentum and look forward to our next workshop!
