Get the influencing skills & competencies to get other people in the company support your goals and objectives. Work through internal politics and get the resources you need to succeed. Get all stakeholders on board including peers, your team and senior management. 

Today's business environment is not easy. Priorities change frequently and you need to get results faster. But in companies and organizations, you don't always have direct control over all the people and elements you need to deliver results efficiently and on time.

We all know how stressful and frustrating it can be, trying to get everybody deliver their parts of the project or just getting what you need from colleagues in the everyday work. If you could just get everybody on board and supporting your ideas, it would make life so much easier. It would also save the company time and money.

But how do you do this? How do you get others to support your goals and objectives? How do you work your way through internal politics to get the collaboration and resources you need? How do you get all stakeholders on board including your peers, your team, senior management and maybe even customers and suppliers?

This personal influence training course combines proven-by-practice methods with new insights and ideas that will grow your personal influencing and persuation skills. You will gain a wider perspective of personal leadership through breakout sessions, exercises, and case applications.

Developing Personal Influence and Impact is a hands-on training programme, highly interactive with exercises and role plays. The programme will be led by an experienced facilitator who has risen up through various organizational positions in multinational organizations to hold a senior position, and has extensive experience using ethical influence to achieve positive outcomes.
