Communicate Powerfully has released a guide to authentic workplace communication training, addressing the gap between employee desires for genuine dialogue and corporate training that focuses on delivering polish over honest conversation.
-- Communicate Powerfully's latest guide puts authentic communication training in the spotlight to address workplace communication challenges faced by modern teams. The New Zealand-based company, founded by Carly Shorter, operates globally by providing online courses and in-person Zoom sessions serving clients across the USA, UK, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.

The guide explains that authentic communication training addresses a workplace challenge highlighted by recent research showing 37% of employees feel they must hide aspects of who they are at work for fear of judgement. Despite this, 93% of workers say being authentic at work is important, and 52% say it's extremely important. Research has also shown that companies with strong internal communication practices earn 47% higher total shareholder returns over five years compared to those with poor communication.
The guide comes as Millennials and Gen Z, who now form the majority of the workforce, actively seek meaning, effective leadership, and development opportunities over traditional compensation packages. These generations thrive in environments where they feel heard and valued, but trainers and learning development professionals report that these employees frequently express frustration about holding back in meetings or wishing they had spoken up honestly during important discussions.
"We've seen the data - people want honest conversations, not just polished pitches. Yet many companies aren't teaching it," said a spokesperson for Communicate Powerfully. "Corporate training often focuses on delivery polish but fails to teach authenticity. We're trying to change that approach."
Communicate Powerfully teaches participants to be genuine and transparent whilst staying professional and courteous. Their training covers active listening techniques, empathy development, openness to feedback, and building trust through authentic interactions.
The R.E.A.L. framework forms the foundation of the training approach. Respectful communication involves expressing yourself clearly while valuing different perspectives. Engaging participation means being present and focused during discussions. Assertive expression requires being direct in a clear and honest way, even when uncomfortable, and listening creates the foundation for meaningful relationships with peers.
The authentic communication approach also applies to customer relationships, with research showing 57% of customers are more loyal to brands that communicate in a human, genuine manner.
