Our influencing course teaches fundamental influencing skills and frameworks.
These are the essential tools that persuasive people use day in and day out. These tried and tested tools do not change – people are still people whatever is happening.
The best way to implement these tools in your exact day-to-day work will vary according to the situation.
This is what we work through with you during the Personal Action Plan section of the day. This is time on the course set aside to reflect on and discuss how the principles that you have learned during the day can be implemented in your exact situation.

We limit the number of people in our workshops to 5.
We pride ourselves on ensuring that everyone gets plenty of one-to-one attention and time to ask questions and feel that limiting numbers is the only way to guarantee this to everyone who attends one of our influencing skills courses.
