The ability to influence others is a life skill but also one that has never been so critically useful at work. This one-day workshop is for you if you want to apply models of behavioural change that work and enable you to influence positively and ethically.

This session will set you on the road to discover what you need to be able to think and do, that will help you take people with you. This involves learning some new personal and management tools and models you can tailor to the situation you are in and help you make sure you use the right skills and behaviours to influence well.

• Learn about some influencing styles and methods and how to use them in influencing situations
• Understand which skills and behaviours to use to be a more effective influencer
• Have greater confidence in situations where you need to influence someone
• Use thinking, speaking and behavioural techniques that enable influencing to be effective and positive

This session is appropriate to all managers at any level, especially those who need to influence others upwards, such as elected members.

A highly practical half-day workshop (seven hours including mid-morning and afternoon and lunch breaks) for a group of up to 12 people.
