SIXCOMMS

📍 At SIXCOMMS, we believe in the power of communication to transform lives and careers. This week, we reflect on our founder's Lisa Partridge 🇸🇬🇬🇧🌍 journey—starting in London’s bustling Liverpool Street. Before relocating to #Singapore in 2009 🇸🇬, Lisa spent years teaching English to professionals in London’s financial district. It was a vibrant and rewarding time, helping people from all over the globe improve their fluency and confidence to thrive in meetings and presentations. Fast forward to today, SIXCOMMS operates in tropical Singapore, where we empower professionals to communicate with clarity, confidence, and impact. Our services include: 🌿 Walk & Talk Community Weekly meetups in Singapore parks, offering opportunities to connect, converse, and share ideas while enjoying nature. 🌿 Walk & Talk Consult Tailored one-to-one sessions to tackle communication challenges, from perfecting presentations to rehearsing for interviews. 🌿 Clarity Workshop at Fort Canning Park A dynamic 3-hour session designed to help participants clarify their vision and goals. Walk away with a motivating action plan! (Next workshop: Friday, 7 February 2025!)

🌿 A Walk & Talk to Remember 🌿 What happens when two like-minded professionals connect on LinkedIn from opposite sides of the world? A meaningful collaboration is born with Ellie Lloyd-Jones We had the privilege of co-hosting a Walk & Talk session at Hyde Park in London—a project that started with a simple message and blossomed into an inspiring event. Over a few weeks, we co-designed this unique experience through emails, Zoom calls, and shared documents, united by a belief in the power of nature to foster deeper connections. What we’re celebrating: ✨ Gratitude: For the incredible participants who joined us, enriching the experience with their stories and insights. 💪 Determination: To keep using natural spaces as a backdrop for meaningful conversations and community-building. 💡 Inspiration: From this collaboration, fueling new ideas for workshops that integrate nature and connection. One of the event highlights was the use of custom wildlife-inspired prompt cards, each featuring a local species with reflective questions. For example, the red admiral butterfly— bold & transformative —invited participants to reflect on how they’ve embraced transformation in their lives. A special thank you to Kieran Morris for capturing the day’s essence through stunning visuals and to Greg Packman for sharing his knowledge about Hyde Park’s beautiful trees. This experience reinforced our commitment to creating unique opportunities for connection, collaboration, and growth. 📌 Want to experience a Walk & Talk session? Join us in Singapore in 2025!

Effective communication isn't just about the words we speak—it’s about how we listen to each other. In today's fast-paced, "always on" culture, we often forget the importance of pausing to truly tune in. To communicate effectively, we must intentionally carve out time and space to be present, both for ourselves and for others. ✨ When we focus on truly listening, we create opportunities for understanding, trust, and collaboration. Active listening allows us to respond thoughtfully, engage more deeply, and ensure everyone’s voice is heard. This is a lesson Farzana Deen learned when a chronic health condition forced her to slow down and take stock of her life. Her message about the importance of pausing and connecting is one we all need to hear. 🎁 With the holiday season approaching, we highly recommend this episode as a thoughtful listen. 👉 Link to the full episode is in the comments – happy listening! #EffectiveCommunication #ActiveListening #Leadership #Collaboration #CommunicationSkills #Empathy #Growth
