Influence and Impact

Evaluate your personal impact and increase your influence in business

This course is now delivered online as a series of live sessions which fully meet the learning objectives of face-to-face training.

The most astute researchers recognise that, in a ‘people’ business, knowing how to leverage the more emotional aspects of business – communication, relationships, influence and impact – brings both personal and organisational success.

This workshop helps you to evaluate the personal impact you have on those you interact with day-to-day, enabling you to increase this influence for business benefit. Specifically, you will learn how to focus your energies where they matter most and identify effective strategies for building and managing a range of business relationships.

The course also covers the importance of emotional intelligence, the ‘paradox of control’, developing rapport through non-verbal communication and managing conflict.
