We help scientists, researchers, and R&D teams communicate effectively with the stakeholders who depend on their expertise.

Each programme is built around the specific communication challenges in your organisation, not a generic curriculum. 

Practical workshops, intensives, and coaching sessions built around participants' research content and real-world communication challenges.

Programmes include immediately applicable tools and frameworks, built-in preparatory work, and live sessions that focus on hands-on application, direct feedback, and revisions.

We build our programmes using a simple framework:

1. Discover:

When it comes to communication in your organisation, we don't assume where the gap lies. We speak with both researchers and stakeholders to understand what decision-makers need, what researchers need in return, and where communication is actually breaking down.

2. Design:

Your programme is built around those findings, using real scenarios, real stakeholders, and the communication challenges your researchers face every day.

3. Deliver:

Workshops, intensives, and coaching sessions that focus on practice and feedback, delivered on-site at your location across Europe. Preparatory online sessions can introduce tools, resources, and useful communication strategies, but the real work happens in the room.

4. Embed:

Researchers leave with a clearer understanding of how existing stakeholders make decisions, and how to adapt their communication accordingly. The result is not just better communication today,  but the capability to navigate new audiences and contexts independently.

Individual communication coaching for scientists and researchers in business

Are looking for individual communication coaching for scientists, researchers, or technical experts in your organisation? 

We work one-to-one with a handful of individual each month, giving them and their needs our full attention and helping them build and refine their skills.

If this sounds like something of interest, get in touch to tell us a bit about what you're thinking, and we can explore the options together.

Specialist messaging and positioning programmes for researchers in research-led organisations

What clients say

“Suzanne helped our researchers become more aware of how their contributions in meetings affect projects and business decisions. I've noticed a clear improvement in how people speak up and contribute intentionally.”

Figuring out where the "gap" is: take the survey

We're developing a diagnostic to help organisations identify where research expertise gets lost between researchers and decision-makers.

Help shape the tool by taking our five-minute survey. You'll have the option to receive a summary of the findings and receive an early-bird invitation to use the diagnostic as soon as it's ready.

The Research-to-Decision Gap newsletter

How does research expertise move through organisations? Where does communication break down? And what helps researchers shape messaging that helps decision-makers act?

Every 4–6 weeks, The Research-to-Decision Gap explores these questions through practical examples, observations, and ideas from the field.
