I want to try reacting differently when communicating with others!

You must first equip yourself with the tools of strategic communication. In this lecture, we have carefully selected 26 tools from A to Z.

I want to experience a change in the way others treat me by changing the way I treat them!

To use these tools in real life, you must master the key sentences. We will kindly provide the key sentences for each tool.

I've listened to communication lectures and read books, but I feel like nothing has changed!

Communication is like exercise or learning a musical instrument. It requires practice. Be sure to follow Coach Ho Kim and complete the Guided Practice Session.

What you will learn

Tools and Key Sentences

Kim Ho's Leadership Message Maker, consisting of 26 lectures from A to Z, begins with tools and key sentences.

Explanations for understanding

Do you have any questions?

Q. Will this course be helpful to me?

I think this might be the most important question. The best way is to experience the Intro video on the cover for yourself. This video explains in as much detail as possible why Kim Ho's Leadership Message Maker A to Z was created, what it will teach you, and how it is structured. You can also see examples. If this video is helpful to you, then the 26 communication message makers from A to Z will definitely be of help.

Q. What do you think is the reason why communication is difficult?

First, there are "tools" that professionals use for communication. Have you ever properly looked into this toolbox? In this lecture, I will introduce 26 of these tools.

Second, even if you "know" the tools, you tend to react in the same habitual way whenever similar situations arise. To communicate strategically in business, you must take "action" rather than just "reaction." In other words, you need to shift from a habitual approach to a selective and strategic one. In this lecture, I will explain the core sentences in an easy-to-understand manner so that you can break away from habitual reactions and use these tools effectively every time.

Third, communication is just like exercising or learning a musical instrument. You don't become good at communicating just by reading books and listening to lectures. You must practice. This is why I have included a Guided Practice Session in every session. I hope you will join me in writing, speaking, and practicing together.

Q. Can anyone take this course?

Well... not necessarily. When I start a coaching project, I do not accept clients who are doing it because "their boss or company told them to." This is because I believe that change and growth do not happen when someone else forces them, but rather when the individual themselves wants it to happen. I hope that Kim Ho's Leadership Message Maker A to Z is chosen by those who have a desire to improve their strategic communication and who want to grow and change.

Q. Why did Coach Ho Kim create this course?

I rarely give corporate lectures. In fact, I have even stated on my company website (thelabh.com) that I do not offer special lectures. Instead, I focus on 1:1 coaching, small group coaching, or workshops. Most of my clients are executives or directors at large corporations or global firms. While coaching, I often encounter clients who say they wish they had paid more attention to strategic communication skills earlier in their career development. I also believe it is crucial to develop the ability to communicate with clients, colleagues, supervisors, and team members, in addition to one's work skills, starting from one's 20s and 30s. While contemplating the easiest way to learn this in a short period of time, I organized the Leadership Message Maker tools that I teach in actual coaching sessions and released them this time. Message Maker is also the name of The Lab h's "steady seller" coaching/training program.

Notes before taking the course

Practice Environment

Each lecture includes a Guided Practice Session for you to practice. You will need a notebook and a pen!

Learning Materials

Ho Kim's Leadership Message Maker A to Z is designed with most sessions under 5 minutes, focusing on real-world cases and Guided Practice Sessions rather than theory, so that learners can achieve maximum results in minimum time. While the lecture times are short, we encourage you to actively apply the Leadership Maker tools you've learned in your next meetings, presentations, interviews, conversations, and text communications!

Prerequisite Knowledge and Important Notes

  • I believe you cannot make someone learn if they do not want to. However, anyone who wants to learn strategic communication that can be applied to both business and personal life can certainly do so.

  • Learning communication is like learning a musical instrument or a sport; you cannot learn it just by listening to a lecture. You learn by speaking and writing for yourself while you learn, and by applying it in real life. Make the most of the Guided Practice Sessions.

  • The Leadership Message Maker A to Z by Ho Kim presented in this lecture is a tool developed by Coach Ho Kim for use in actual corporate executive coaching and other professional settings. All intellectual property rights belong to THE LAB h (CEO Ho Kim).

  • If you post your questions, I may not be able to answer all of them, but I will try my best to provide answers to similar questions on an irregular basis. Thank you for your interest.

      I am also happy to connect with you through Inflearn like this. That's right. While coaching clients, I sometimes hear them say they wish they had known these things sooner, so I thought hard about how to create methods that people working in the field can use right away. Thank you for taking the course, and I hope it helps you in the field! I also hope the newly uploaded materials are helpful!
