We brought Amy into Radium in April 2025 to “dot” us and improve our awareness of personal communication styles. Amy was full of energy and broke things down into relatable chunks. Everyone engaged, and we kept talking long after she left. Highly recommend!

Dots Communication is a simple system that helps you understand your communication style and how to connect better with others.
The quiz contains a few simple questions designed to reveal your likely dominant Dot Communication Style. It takes approximately 5 minutes to complete.
The Free Dots Communication Quiz is super easy—less than 5 minutes—and it’s completely FREE. It gives you a quick snapshot of your likely dominant Dots Communication style. Think of it as a fun starting point to spark curiosity, not a full diagnosis. You’ll get a taste of how you might typically communicate, but it doesn’t dive deep or explain how to flex for other Dot types.
The Dots Training is where the real magic happens LIVE in-person or virtually. You’ll not only discover your Dot combination, but also learn how to spot the styles in others—and how to adapt your approach for better connection and less friction. It’s interactive, practical, and designed to shift how your team communicates in real-time, with lots of “aha” moments along the way.
The Online Course brings the Dots learning to you—anytime, anywhere. It’s perfect for individuals, couples or families who want flexible access to the full methodology. You’ll get deeper insights, real-life examples, and simple strategies you can apply straight away to improve relationships at work (and at home).
Face to face or Virtual Live it’s interactive, energising, and full of practical tools your team can use straight away.
You’ll uncover your full Dot Communication combination—not just your dominant style—and learn how others tick. Then we show you how to flex your approach for less friction and more connection. Expect real talk, relatable scenarios, and lightbulb moments that boost trust and collaboration.
