Advanced Influencing Skills
Course Objectives
This programme is designed to provide delegates with the ability to construct a persuasive and compelling argument and to be able to present it with authority and confidence. The programme is designed utilising techniques derived from Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) that will enable you to construct a business proposition and present it in a fashion that captures the imagination of your audience. Throughout the two days, delegates will explore tools and techniques that can help them prepare the basis for their proposal with informal 'corridor' or 'elevator' conversations, develop rapport with their counterparts and defuse tension and disagreement.
