About the Book

A 162-page masterclass in communication skills — the essential training manual for professionals who want to stand out, lead teams, and grow their careers.

Most work problems aren’t technical problems — they’re communication problems.

This coursebook is the complete workbook version of my award-winning Communication Masterclass. It’s designed to help you improve how you speak, write, listen, present, and influence — the exact skills hiring managers and successful leaders rely on every day.

What You’ll Learn

• Core principles of communication — models, frameworks, and timeless theories made practical
• Influence & leadership — how to be both effective and liked
• Non-verbal mastery — body language, micro-expressions, and first impressions
• Active listening & calm under pressure — the real superpowers of strong communicators
• High-impact writing & meetings — structure, clarity, and purpose that save time and win attention
• Personal style & growth — DISC personality insights, energy management, and practical self-awareness tools

Why This Coursebook is Different

This isn’t a casual read. It’s a professional workbook with exercises, reflection prompts, and practical tools you can apply immediately. It’s the same content I deliver in the superpower masterclasses that organisations invest thousands in — made accessible for your own development.

You won’t just read this book once. You’ll return to it again and again as a reference, practice guide, and career resource.

The course is in a PDF workbook with content, bibliography and a worksheet that you can print.

FAQ

What format is the course in?

- The course is a text based PDF workbook. There is a workbook and cheat sheets at the end of the document for you to print.

Is the course membership based?

- No, you simply pay for the course, download the PDF and access is yours. There are no recurring fees.

How quickly will I become an effective communicator?

- That all depends on how much practice you are going to put in. Good communication is merely behaviours and only you can change your behaviours. The information and advice I offer needs putting into practice. Slowly and surely.

Why a text based course when you put out regular YouTube videos?

- The answer is simple. When I look back to all of the online courses I've sat with videos, I merely wanted the information in text. I wanted to read it and digest it more quickly through text and revisit various parts of it. You can keep revisiting this document, and re-reading and practicing.

- Textual lessons are less overwhelming and you can work through them at your own pace. Text based courses, like this one, are richer in detail and easier to share with you. Some of the lessons will be longer than others. I encourage you to work at your own pace.

Rob didn’t set out to be a business coach, consultant, or speaker. He began as a journalist and publisher, chasing stories about people and ideas  — and trained as a media communication scientist, learning how to cut through complexity and share ideas in ways people actually understand. 

That curiosity eventually pulled him into the world of tech — building products, leading teams, and riding the full start-up → scale-up → sale journey.

Along the way he discovered what really makes organisations succeed: not just talent, but clarity, creativity, communication, and continuous learning.

Rob went on to hold senior roles; VP of Software Engineering (twice), VP of HR, Head of Communication and Head of Agility— and those experiences now shape the work he does with leaders and teams.

Through Cultivated Management, his books, workshops, and keynotes, Rob helps organisations cut through complexity, align around value, and create cultures where people thrive.

He’s also the co-host of Stationery Freaks, a podcast for those who love notebooks, pens, and the analogue tools of creativity.

Rob lives in Winchester, England with his wife and three sons. Outside of work, he’s a keen photographer, film maker, and car enthusiast.

Rob is the founder and director of Cultivated Management.

Rob is the founder of Creativesoulprojects.

Rob is also a co-host of Stationery Freaks podcast.
