Influencing and Persuasion
The purpose of this training is to teach people the skills they need so that others will want to grant them the power to affect outcomes. Our approach is to teach someone how to develop and maintain rapport, how to resolve conflicts and handle difficult situations, and how to recognise others’ needs and support them in meeting their needs while meeting their own as well (“win-win”). The training concludes with emphasising the qualities that influential people have and gives the participants an opportunity to assess themselves in these areas.
