Influencing Skills In-House Training
Create trust between you and the people you want to influence at any level
Let’s face it there are times when all of us need to influence people so that they see things slightly differently, or to get them to do something we need them to do.
There are also times when we’re influencing people because we need to negotiate conditions, timings or price. And that’s where it can be vital to be able to get what you want.
Influencing Skills Training
Influencing as part of an in-house Tailored Training Programme gives people an understanding of the dynamics of influencing people.
They will learn how to expand their sphere of influence and have the opportunity to practise a variety of tools and techniques.
Our programmes are tailored specifically to each group and are designed to help delegates acquire the skills to become Excellent Influencers.
Tailored to Your Issues
As people’s roles change and expand within organisations, so their influencing skills need to expand as well.
This can often undermine their confidence because there are now new demands on their capabilities in addition to the expertise they were hired for.
If you have people in your company who are now being asked to influence both external and internal customers. Perhaps in ways they never had to before. Then giving them a solid grounding in persuasiveness will give them the confidence and the tools that they need.
In-House Tailored Programme
Influencing skills training can form a significant part of a Tailored Communication Skills Programme.
We offer key techniques to deal with
- Getting other people to want to give their support
- Understanding of the dynamics of influencing people
- How to adapt and better use their influencing style in their day-to-day operations
- Influencing others where they have no direct authority
There may be groups of people in your company who need to gain more understanding of how to adapt their own influencing style to suit different (and possibly challenging) situations that arise in their day-to-day operations.
You may have people in various departments who have to influence others over whom they have no direct authority.
These others are probably people busy on their own projects and may not even have a vested interest in helping, but equally could be key to getting things done.
Influence at Work
Most people’s jobs require them to influence others at work a lot of the time.
The best influencers require good interpersonal and communication skills and an ability to get other people to want to give their support.
The best negotiators are subtle, and fair and know what to give away, when to make demands, and how to compensate when there are difficulties.
Influencing Development
Influencing is one of the key areas of skills development we are asked to provide more than any other of our programmes.
No longer is influencing confined to the most logical areas of businesses: marketing, PR, Directors, and Senior Managers.
Now, groups and teams of people throughout a company are expected to add influencing skills to their own areas of expertise.
