Our Story
For almost 30 years, we’ve been inspiring communicators.
When we started cmt.training, we had a lot of enthusiasm, a bagful of tools and techniques, and a clear idea of what energetic and engaging communication looked like. From the very beginning, our approach was shaped by experience from broadcasting, performance, coaching and business.
People embraced our programmes and we saw real and meaningful change in the way they communicated.
But over time, we noticed something important.
Every so often, when we worked with people again, they would tell us:
“It wasn’t really me.”
Those words stayed with us.
They made us question what creates lasting change.
Instead of asking, “How do we help people communicate better?”, we began asking, “How do we help people communicate in a way that feels true to who they are?”
That question took us on a journey.
We explored coaching, mindset, beliefs, leadership and, later, applied neuroscience. Most importantly, we kept listening to the people we worked with.
Over time, our thinking evolved.
Today, communication skills remain at the heart of what we do, but we’ve learned that lasting change comes from more than techniques alone. It comes from helping people understand themselves and develop a communication style that feels natural, adaptable and true to who they are.
Looking back, that simple comment…
“It wasn’t really me.”
…didn’t just change our programmes.
It changed us.
Today, everything we do is shaped by that journey and by one simple belief:
People inspire when they connect with who they are.
what do our clients say about us...
“After shifting our corporate strategy, we engaged cmt to help our leaders communicate the organization’s vision in a compelling way. Rather than providing a one-size-fits-all product, cmt partnered with us to customize a program that met our specific business needs. Engagement scores surrounding future vision increased 22 percentage points amongst business leaders and across the broader organization; a remarkable result in a year of change. ”
