In most business situations, being perceived as credible, confident and influential is vital for success. This course will help you to find your voice and develop a compelling presence, by articulating and demonstrating your value proposition as a leader.
You will start from the inside, using techniques from positive psychology to work on your self-confidence and develop an optimistic mindset. You will also define how you want others to perceive you, by articulating a memorable and consistent personal brand and using this as your baseline for the rest of the course.

What defines a leader? Is it a title, a position in the hierarchy, or something deeper?
True leadership is about making a positive impact, driving change, and fostering an environment where everyone can thrive. If we accept that definition, it quickly becomes clear that anyone, at any level, can be a leader.
This course delves into the essence of leadership, distinguishing it from conventional management. It will equip participants with the understanding and skills to lead by influence rather than position.
In this course, you will explore the foundational principles of leadership by cultivating a leader’s mindset and aligning your actions with your core beliefs and values. You will learn to appreciate the power of building trust-based relationships that enable you to expand your influence, establish loyal allies, and mobilize support for your ideas.
Through engaging with this course, you will redefine your perception of leadership and acquire practical tools for inspiring and influencing others, regardless of your position.

 

  • Are you looking to enhance your ability to effectively influence your colleagues and stakeholders?
  • Are you motivated to align your approach to leadership with your personal values?
  • Would it help you to reach your goals if you could build strong, trust-based relationships across your organization?
  • Are you seeking new strategies to adapt your leadership approach in a rapidly changing workplace environment?
  • Are you interested in furthering your professional standing and making a tangible impact within your organization?

By the end of this course you will be able to:

 

  • To articulate the core principles of leadership and the mindsets that underpin effective leadership
  • To identify the personal values that will guide your leadership style and decision making
  • To build and nurture diverse professional relationships based on trust
  • To effectively influence colleagues and stakeholders without relying on positional authority
