Influencing

Influencing others is key to making an impact in your working environment. This highly practical training is aimed at line managers and specialists whose success depends on influencing others without using formal authority. Typical participants want to communicate more effectively to make an impact and get themselves heard even though they may not have a formal position within the decision-making process.

“Finding a way to communicate a message so that it is heard and taken on board is important when you want to influence others. Yet too often people are reluctant to do this for fear of not being true to themselves. Helping participants overcome this and remain confident and authentic is challenging and rewarding.”

Scott Levey
