Course description
Getting Results Without Authority
Learn how to be persuasive at work and get the results you need without authority. Unleash your personal power to negotiate, influence and persuade.
Whether you’re dealing with bosses, colleagues, staff members or senior management; the ability to win respect, influence people and cultivate cooperation is absolutely essential to career success. The people with whom you interact in business can change on a moment’s notice, making the ability to be persuasive with anyone in the workplace to achieve desired results is crucial—especially when you don’t have immediate authority to command their cooperation.
- Understand exchange and reciprocity to persuade (the first steps in the influence process)
- Adapt your communication style to maximise your credibility
- Turn your character and capabilities into influence
- Persuade with a framework of discovery, preparation and dialogue
You’ll practice persuasive communication and other influencing techniques right from day one through the final activity on day three of this information-packed programme—and enhance your learning with videos, exercises, assessment tools and group discussions.
The programme consists of four 3-hour sessions, which are spaced out over a few days.
