The Art of Influencing CIPD

In a world where many organisations are moving away from hierarchical leadership structures to flatter, more team-based models, we find that the person with the influencing skills has the power. Our need to be collaborative is heightened and consequently we need to understand interpersonal dynamics and to perform with credibility, confidence and agility.

The course draws on the research of current thought leaders in the field of influencing, business, psychology, social science and performance. It explores our conscious and more subconscious behaviours, and provides you with a 'tool kit' of practices that enables you to embed the theory in an active and exhilarating way. You'll learn to understand your own influencing style and how to flex it to connect with others. You'll also learn to remain open to others' opinions, generate greater rapport in all your relationships and project yourself with authority, presence and generosity.

Run as it features here, or run in-house where the content can be tailored to suit your organisational needs - cost effective if a number of people require training.

Who is it for
