Join us for a thought-provoking online session with Gordon MacLelland, CEO and founder of Working With Parents in Sport (WWPIS), as we explore what it takes to become a Super Communicator — someone who handles challenging conversations with clarity, confidence, and impact.

In this session, Gordon draws on his extensive experience in coaching, education, and high-performance environments to help you:

• Develop the core skills of Super Communicators
• Build an effective communication strategy
• Plan for and manage difficult conversations
• Maintain the integrity of the coaching and support chain
• Recognise and manage “The Chimp” — the emotional brain in action
