MAXIMISE YOUR TEAM - PUBLIC SECTOR SOLUTIONS

In public service, deep policy knowledge and operational expertise are only half the battle. If your team cannot communicate complex information with clarity, empathy, and authority, you risk losing public trust and stalling vital initiatives. At Talking Shop, we bridge the gap between navigating bureaucracy and communicating brilliantly. From high-stakes empathetic conversations to everyday cross-departmental leadership, we train your people to command the room, de-escalate tension, and build consensus.


Our speciality and background comes from our time working across the public sector - In particular the university sphere.


We offer in-house, hybrid, or virtual individual workshops, coaching, and action-learning sets—ready off the shelf or completely bespoke to your department's specific needs. Need to roll out a comprehensive communication programme across a wider university, trust or council? We do that too.

It is not unusual for managers to hold regular appraisal or review meetings. Some are reluctant and others fearful of how to go about it.


We help develop techniques to have successful appraisals. Our interactive workshops explore poor and best practice to really understand motivators, aspirations and challenges.
