At a senior level, the ability to influence and persuade others is essential in order to gain commitment and buy-in to your decisions and objectives. This course is therefore designed to strengthen your ability to influence others to your way of thinking and to support you in delivering impactful change in a business or project environment.
You will discover how you can increase your effectiveness by expanding your self-awareness - understanding the impact of your approach and adapting your style to connect more closely with others. You will also explore a whole range of influencing and persuading strategies you can use across the varying levels within your business, developing the ability to ‘speed read‘ behavior changes in the moment to adapt your approach.

- Describe the value of personal power and positional power and their role in influencing
- Select from a range of persuasion and influencing strategies to manage meetings for more productive outcomes
- Plan bespoke persuasion and influencing strategies to suit the personality and preferences of your stakeholders
- Deal with politics, aggression, ego, resistance and any other difficult behaviors
You will be given access to some digital resources to help prepare for the course and asked to reflect on situations that have gone well in the past and identify a situation where you would like to increase your influence and persuasion in the future. You are required to bring this to the course.
