Influencing skills
Improve your influencing skills with a one-day workshop on managing stakeholders, with practical tools and tips to help you succeed
Improve your influencing skills
Being able to motivate, persuade and engage with colleagues is essential to achieving your goals, but there is no one-size-fits-all style. Whether you need to gain support from stakeholders, inspire others or persuade people of the best course of action, how to influence people varies according to your goal and intended audience.
Asserting influence takes a range of forms and methods – and knowing how to tailor your approach to your audience is half the battle.
