About the Course

Recommended for:


Positive Influencing Skills is a two-day course that is just right for you if you’re a manager, project leader, consultant or specialist. Whatever your background, you’ll achieve better results with other people more easily, without being manipulative.

Course overview:


Change how people around you respond to your ideas, suggestions and proposals. If your performance depends on how easily you gain the cooperation and agreement of others, and your ability to present a compelling case (even if you only have seconds to make your point), this course will give you the expert guidance you need.

Course benefits:


You’ll come away confident in your ability to influence other people more positively, using thought-provoking insights and improved self awareness; with an understanding of other people in order to achieve positive impact on teamwork in your company.

‘The course provided a great balance of theory and storytelling to bring it to life.’  Linda
