The Power of Influence

How many times have you observed individuals (or ourselves) unsuccessfully attempting to persuade others to their point of view?

Most people believe that influence at work is closely linked to organisational status (or seniority). Where this is true to an extent, this short workshop seeks to explore other avenues that increase the level of influence of one party to another.

So what is the currency that underpins this ability of persuasion, and how do we maximise this in ourselves for our own situations?

Benefits to you:

• Communicate and influence effectively and flexibility
• Earn greater respect, insight and understanding
• Less frowns, disputes and bad thoughts
• Successful business relationships and smooth working groups

Learners explore how to engage with others to allow for maximum influence; how to evaluate existing relationships for development opportunities; and an effective personality preference tool which unearths the implications of those preferences.

Consideration is given on how differently profiled people need to be influenced in different ways; planning strategies are developed for communicating with others, and consideration given on how to put forward proposals that encourages others towards a “yes” answer.

This interactive session will help you by:

• Recognising our preferred communication style, and those of others
• Adapting our style to match the others
• Making proposals effectively in a style to engage other parties
