Course Overview

Do you find some people and situations easier to influence than others?  Do you feel quite confident about getting a “yes” to your idea, proposal or presentation, only to sometimes later find yourself wondering why it didn’t succeed?  Getting people to change their mind, opinion, behaviour or approach can be fraught with difficulty.   

This workshop provides you with the skills, the tools and the confidence you need to overcome the barriers to influence and persuasion and succeed in getting the agreement, buy-in or change you need. 

Course Objectives/Outcomes

  •  overcome the five main barriers to influence and persuasion 
  •  use, strengthen and adapt your influencing style to suit individual situations and objectives 
  •  connect with key stakeholders in a way that reduces any potential tension and conflict 
  •  select the most appropriate influencing strategies and approaches to secure the best result in different situations
