The workplace is becoming increasingly complex. Flat hierarchies, matrixed management structures, a never-ending flow of information and multiple, competing priorities. As a result, the ability to persuade and influence has increasingly become a core skill – in fact, an essential survival skill – for anyone in business.
The reality is that to move someone’s mindset from one position to another requires strategies, preparation and a range of skills. This workshop will provide these through some effective tools and frameworks that will help them influence across a wide range of challenging scenarios.
Designed for
Persuading and Influencing Others is designed to help people in situations such as the need:
-To win buy-in for initiatives or encourage change within or outside their organisation.
-To influence across a myriad of stakeholders, silos, and competing interests.
-For a support function to build good working relationships with and add value to sometimes cynical business units they service.
-For a manager to be a better leader by communicating more effectively.
-For those without seniority or positional power to influence others.
