In the two days, you will experience the power of influence on thought-process, emotions, beliefs and to understand how with influence (and some patience), you are able to affect attitudes and behaviour and achieve your desired outcome. Through a series of facilitated topics, hands-on activities and discussions, this programme is especially effective in driving deep learning; and unlike many traditional training modules, it cultivates a sustainable practice throughout one’s career because Influencing is a skill that is applicable in every facet of and at any point in one’s life. You can practice it all the time and with anyone.
Influence: Uncovering the Power of Presence and Persuasion takes the learner through three main sections: who you influence, what is it you are influencing and how you would influence. Throughout this process, the emphasis is always on the person and not the issues or outcome. That is, you are influencing a person’s impression, mindset, emotions and attitudes in order to affect the decision; and not about manipulating a favourable decision to suit your agenda. It is about the engagement and cultivating a relationship between two or more people.
In order to Influence, one learns to recognise what is within her/his control and where she/he can mitigate against unexpected situations. The programme facilitates the exploration of each learner’s capacity, ability and capability to influence successfully. The method and principles are learnt competencies, and with practice, can be honed and refined.
