Proactive Communication
Leaning into Self-Awareness and Curiosity
Find out how your communication actually lands, why trust is built in small moments, and what to do when it goes sideways.
Our expert instructors command the room, but also entertain it—keeping things interactive and engaging but, of course, applicable and actionable. Whether in-person or virtual, Fringe PD's custom workshops put the fun in dysfunctional.
All of our programming is research-backed, action-packed, neuroscience-based, and enjoyably-paced. Whether in-person or virtual, for one hour or a full day, the popular topics below can be customized for your organization's specific wants and needs.
Find Out MoreTwenty standalone programs, sorted by challenge rather than seniority. Each one is complete on its own and none has a prerequisite. Open a group to see the four programs inside it.
Most programs run 90 minutes at minimum. Virtual sessions can run 60. Any program expands to a half day or a full day with added practice, discussion, and implementation time.
Pick two or three and we'll combine them into a half-day or full-day curriculum, sequenced so the skills build on each other.
Nothing here requires anything else first. Start wherever the challenge is, at any level of seniority.
Every example and activity gets built around your people, your work, and your language. In person or virtual.
