One-Day OTM Team Training: ‘Building the Ensemble’

This one-day, high-impact communication intensive is designed to change how teams actually show up when it matters—in the office, on the worksite, at storefronts, remote environments, and executive leadership rooms:

  • Help your team members actually show up when it matters through embodied, performance-based work.

  • Build deep listening, honest response, and real alignment under pressure.

  • Communicate without ego, posturing, or scripts

The result is stronger morale, clearer communication, faster alignment, and teams that function effectively when the stakes are high.

“ I had been looking for a way to provide some training to my leaders. Training that would support their speaking with conviction and purpose. Our search for a business relevant and fun environment brought us to On the Mic Training! Noel and Erin provided us with valuable guidance and tips for improving our presentation skills. It is clear the depth of their own professional experience and training. Noel’s calm and deep understanding of his audiences were evident in his direction and speaking. Erin has boundless enthusiasm and this motivated everyone to stretch beyond their comfort zones to reach new heights of speaking! Thanks to Noel and Erin and the staff at On the Mic! “

  • Here are some of the main reasons coaching tends to be so effective in a corporate context:

    1. Personalized Development

      • Unlike generic training, coaching is tailored to the individual’s strengths, gaps, and goals. This means the development is relevant and actionable.

      • Coaches help leaders set real goals, reflect, and implement changes in their day-to-day work.

    2. Accountability + Structured Reflection

      • Coaches provide accountability: regular check-ins, feedback loops, and structured progress tracking help coachees stay on track.

      • Through reflective conversations, coachees examine their behaviors, assumptions, and leadership style, which drives deeper learning than purely “doing a training module.”

    3. Behavioral Change

      • Coaching is not just about knowledge — it’s aimed at changing behavior. That’s why studies show sustained behavioral change, not just short-term satisfaction. mmmts.com

      • By working on leadership behaviors and emotional intelligence, coaching helps leaders interact more effectively, manage conflict, and make better decisions. instituteofcoaching.org

    4. Retention & Engagement

      • When employees (especially leaders) feel supported and invested in, they’re more likely to stay. Coaching builds trust, supports growth, and signals that the company values them.

      • Improved leadership has a cascade effect: better leaders → more engaged teams → lower turnover and higher productivity.

    5. Tangible Business Impact

      • The improvements in productivity, decision-making, and team performance translate into real business metrics. As ROI studies show, companies aren’t just “feeling good” — they’re seeing bottom-line returns.

    Coaching helps embed a coaching culture, which can amplify impact beyond just the individuals being coached: teams adopt more coaching mindsets, feedback becomes more regular, and leadership capacity scales.

    • Our 1-Day Team Building Workshop is designed to help organizations like yours unlock deeper collaboration and connection by creating a space for vulnerability, emotional intelligence and purposeful dialogue. Through guided experiences, reflective exercises, and facilitated group discussions, your team will discover new ways to relate, engage and work together more effectively!

    • We aim to transform the way you view yourself in the equation, how you express who you are, and how to listen in a focused way to your audience, so you can establish genuine rapport

    • We retrain your nervous system and relational responsiveness — the actual mechanism that determines whether you as a leader or team member are heard and trusted, so you can get the clients you want to work with, close the deals you should really be involved with, and sets you and your company up for long term success

    • Much of corprorate training teaches you how to affect people, focusing on the end result, not the intention. We do the opposite, and focus on the intention. by showing you how to embody your communication, become present with your audience, so you establish relationships that are foundational not transactional

    • Instead of treating leadership as a “framework” filled with tactic driven prescripts, we emphasize authentic communication — helping you build trust, and influence. What you wanted then becomes a by-product of the relationship not something you tricked your audience into.

    • Many Corporate coaches talk about learning and reflection; we cultivate expressive power under uncertainty — an often overlooked but critical capability in high-stakes corporate communication.

    • More recently, AI assisted coaching has become popular, blending technology with corporate training; the risk is an ever disassociated framework departing from what we believe you should run towards - a focus on human presence, trust, and connection — the irreplaceable elements of communication that AI tools can’t replicate.
