What the project is

While preparing for 2025, Knowmium brings a deep sense of curiosity and purpose. With 60 topics available in workshops ranging from 2 hours to 2 days, the sessions have been delivered face-to-face for both Fortune 100s and non-profits in 28 countries, along with virtual sessions in over 43 countries.

Enhancing communication & facilitation
Knowmium’s approach begins with shaping stories and moving minds. Programs such as Moving Minds—its flagship influence program—leverage a unique conversation map tool to balance the push and pull of sharing and understanding. There’s a focus on ethical persuasion, where decades of research by Cialdini and Berger are woven into the sessions. Through The Power of Words and The Lost Art of Listening, facilitators explore how small language changes can make a big difference in buy-in… and ultimately, create compelling business stories. Topics also include Talk like TED for delivering keynotes that motivate and brand an organization authentically.
Consulting & training innovations
In the realm of consulting and training, the project offers fresh insights into facilitating inspiration and innovation. Knowledge sessions like Leading Co-creation and Facilitate to Great help internal trainers move from simply telling to truly training. Rethinking your organization and Innovate to Great encourage a startup mindset of analysis to ideation, fostering an environment where innovation sessions become spaces for creative breakthroughs. Even within text and data, workshops such as The Write Way and Storytelling with Data transform dull emails, reports, and presentations into visually engaging, memorable messages. The natural flow of sessions and the option to add on dynamic simulations ensure that the approach remains both flexible and impactful.
Building trust through authentic conversation
Knowmium also emphasizes gaining voice and collaborating. Applied Improvisation sessions help participants think, speak, and answer questions on the spot. Authentic Assertiveness is taught with techniques that enable individuals to share their voice in meetings without overwhelming others. Creating Assertive Teams and Building Better Meetings further ensure that discussions are not just managed but truly thrive, encouraging a natural ebb and flow in conversation. These sessions, infused with genuine dialogue and occasional casual pauses—yes, those natural pauses like “…” that make the conversation feel real—help create a culture where trust and empathy build bridges between colleagues.
Fostering leadership and innovative dynamics
Leadership is embraced not just through grand speeches, but by delivering real impact in everyday interactions. Programs such as Good to Gravitas refine leadership and executive presence, while The Narrative Leader transforms presentations into compelling business stories. Even nonverbal communication is given its due importance—delving into how tone, proxemics, and gestures can shift perceptions. This detailed focus on authentic leadership and honest dialogue makes it clear that conversation isn’t merely about words, but about sculpting the very essence of a collaborative, innovative work environment.

A future focused on knowledge & change
Alongside its rich suite of workshops, Knowmium supports one-on-one and small group coaching for mid to senior management, ensuring that follow-up interactive video debriefs and AI-supported simulations elevate the learning experience further. Additional toolkits, including the free Radically Remote book, comprehensive toolkit, and self-paced course, have resonated with thousands of facilitators and organizations worldwide—because, honestly, people aren’t tired of virtual sessions; they’re tired of bad virtual sessions. For nearly a decade, the commitment to do good has extended to a non-profit division, The Giving Speech, which facilitates pro-bono sessions for organizations in need. This commitment is further underscored by participation in the Climate Neutral initiative and certification as a Certified B org—small steps paving the way for a better planet. The Knowmium project, with its blend of communication, facilitation, consulting, and training, truly encapsulates the spirit of leadership, authenticity, and innovative learning for the future.
