Program

It is easy to extend authority towards people once you have the position and power. But what separates a true leader from the run-of-the-mill ones is their ability to influence people without using this power. This course is ideal for anyone who wants to help facilitate initiatives and positive change in their workplace. This course will help participants develop the skills they need to successfully draw upon the resources of their organization. It will help them improve the way they communicate to and across teams - and across functions - to get people working with them. Participants will master the art of developing strong alliances and moving people to action.

What Participants Will Learn
  • Establish or regain credibility so you can begin to influence
  • Create a collaborative work environment for faster, better results
  • Let work styles and communication differences work for - not against - you
  • Sell your ideas and implement change successfully
  • Achieve trust and give-and-take relationships up, down and across the organization
  • Project self-confidence without being pushy • Know your assets, blind spots and hidden biases
  • Apply a "win-win" model to conflict and negotiate positively
