Course Outline
This influencing skills training course is a very practical workshop. From the start we talk about the different situations that the attendees face and the session is focused around these.
Attendees examine their own attitudes and put themselves in the place of those they are trying to influence. They learn and then practice powerful techniques and can see for themselves what a difference a few simple changes can make.
This approach makes the training highly relevant, and by practicing real situations the attendees find it much easier to replicate their learning back in the workplace.
Additional Information
This session is offered as a one-day in-person course or a two-part virtual programme.
This session partners well with Personal Impact or Presence and Presentation Masterclass which help attendees develop not just what they say but how they say it.
