Improving Personal Impact & Influence

Have you left meetings wishing that you had spoken out or had a greater share of the airtime? Recognising that people are different, have you wondered how you can adapt your style of communication to better connect with others?

Learn a consistently effective model of influence that you can deploy when needed.

Course Overview

Influence is a key skill for anyone working in modern, matrix organisations. Often a perceived lack of influence leads to deep dissatisfaction in the workplace and beyond. This workshop uses the proven Insights Discovery profile to help classify self and co-workers and to accurately define practical techniques for influencing them. Several discussions and practical activities form the day, leading to stakeholder mapping and action planning.

The workshop provides a new perspective on communication and influence in the workplace and a simple model enabling attendees to adapt their communication style to better connect with a wider group of colleagues.

Outcome

• To understand how our personality type provides a range of communication strengths and potential weaknesses.
• To provide a range of approaches to enable us to better connect and influence a greater range of stakeholder and colleagues.
