Solutions

Under the leadership of Tiffany Summerville, Vice President of Human Resources at Sherlock Biosciences, Patricia Stark Communications designed two comprehensive Calmfidence® Professional & Personal Development Coaching & Training programs for two different teams.

Implementation Process

The trainings began with an in-depth discussion to understand each participant’s individual needs and goals. Throughout the day, speaking exercises were conducted, which were videotaped for review and feedback. Immediate assessments were provided on various aspects, including vocal speed, body language, energy, and messaging effectiveness. Team building exercises and role-play was also strategically placed throughout the day.

All participants received a copy of the Communication Calmfidence® Best Practices overview document and the book “Calmfidence – How to Trust Yourself, Tame Your Inner Critic and Shine in Any Spotlight” to reinforce learning and provide ongoing support, as well as PSC’s Communication Best Practices documents.
