In technical environments, brilliant ideas often lose impact due to overly rational, abstract communication. This hands-on workshop invites participants to actively explore how emotional intelligence, mindset shifts, and storytelling can make technical communication more human, persuasive, and collaborative.

Participants will:

  • Identify common communication blockers through a group mapping activity.

  • Practice emotional intelligence strategies via short, role-play scenarios.

  • Apply a simple storytelling framework to explain a technical idea clearly.

  • Collaborate in small teams to share stories and offer structured peer feedback.

The session includes interactive exercises, coaching-style reflections, and tools participants can immediately apply in their daily writing, presenting, or project communication. Designed for engineers, technical writers, educators, and team leads, this workshop prioritizes clarity, empathy, and engagement in both written and spoken content.

Each participant will leave with a personalized Human Factor Action Plan to implement in their workplace.
