Improving Personal Impact & Influence [a Cambridge Network course]

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.

Structure

The workshop is a full day, with a small amount of preparatory work and involves:

  • Short inputs, covering the science and theory, techniques and tools.
  • Reflection, discussion and practice sessions of increasing intensity and challenge, incorporating peer coaching and feedback, and wherever possible working with real situations.
  • Content is drawn from a variety of sources, including Jungian psychology and the Insights Discovery psychometric.
