What you learn

Your best ideas are only as powerful as your ability to attract support from others. That’s why influencing skills are fundamental to your success in any interpersonal communication situation. This Influencing course prepares you to maximise your persuasiveness in any setting, whether it’s a presentation, meeting or informal conversation.

Throughout the Influencing training, you will work hands-on with your trainer and other course participants. You will discover a wide range of strategies and communication techniques that help you promote your ideas and win support more effectively.

Influencing skills are not about ‘tricking’ others to believe whatever you want them to. Instead, they are about positioning your thoughts in ways that allow others to see the potential, understand the mutual benefits and enthusiastically share your vision. Learn all this and more in this in-depth, interactive course.
