What are Fearless's Drop-In Clinics with a Communication Expert?

Fearless's Drop-In Clinics with a Communication Expert are an on-site coaching service for businesses. A Fearless coach visits the client's office once a week or once a fortnight, sets up in a meeting room, and offers ad hoc 1-to-1 communication skills coaching to staff who need support their managers may not have the skills to give.

How do the drop-in clinics work?

A Fearless communication expert sets up base in a meeting room at the client's office once a week or once a fortnight. Staff members book a 30 to 60 minute slot with the coach to get support with a communication problem they are currently facing, such as a presentation, a conversation or a pitch.

What communication issues can staff bring to a drop-in session?

Staff can bring any specific communication problem to a Fearless drop-in session. Examples listed by Fearless include practising a PowerPoint presentation for critical feedback, rehearsing a difficult client conversation, preparing to facilitate a team meeting, getting advice on giving negative feedback, improving a single slide, and practising a pitch or negotiation. A 'dry run' of an important conversation, such as breaking bad news to a client, is one of the named examples.

What formats does the course offer?

Fearless's course page for Drop-In Clinics with a Communication Expert lists five formats: face-to-face group coaching, virtual group coaching, 1:1 coaching, a bespoke programme and a long-term programme of 12 months. The page does not specify which apply to the on-site clinic, which is described as 1-to-1 coaching in the office.

Who delivers the Drop-In Clinics?

Each clinic is run by one of Fearless's expert coaches, described by the company as a communication expert. Fearless operates an international network of coaches and facilitators based in the UK, Australia, Singapore, Mexico, France and the Philippines, though the page does not say which coaches staff clinics.

How much do the Drop-In Clinics cost?

Fearless does not publish a price for Drop-In Clinics with a Communication Expert on its course page, so no cost can be quoted here. Fearless states a £175 + VAT taster session for its separate 1-to-1 presentation skills coaching, which is not the drop-in price. Fearless can be called on +44 208 142 6727.
