Whether we are working in an organisation, managing a child, dealing with customers, colleagues, bosses or members of the public, we cannot always rely on our authority to get others to do what we want them to. We need to apply persuasive skills in such a way that the other person will do what you want them to do willingly. We need to change our approach to relating to people. In order to be more persuasive and influential in any situation, we need to use all of our communication skills including our visual, vocal and verbal skills. Through active listening, observation and involvement we become more alert and develop empathy for others. This will help us to achieve greater understanding and make us more persuasive and influential when dealing with people at all levels and situations
Upon completion of this workshop, participants will be able to;
Anyone who needs to persuade an individual or group to be more co-operative, to collaborate, to adopt their ideas, to listen to their advice. Those who need to manage teams and get groups to work together. Those who need to convince their customers or bosses. Those who need to manage relationships at home.
