About this course

What this course covers

Influencing others is an essential yet challenging business skill. It is a skill that allows us to get things done, resolve problems, obtain permission, or gain acceptance of our opinions or ideas. Being able to influence others when you have no authority over them is even more challenging.

This half-day course introduces the fundamentals of influencing without authority. Participants will learn how to influence others and efficiently achieve their goals.

Who should attend. Anyone who must influence others to achieve their goals, including those who frequently work in teams or on projects with colleagues, vendors, or clients; those who would like to improve their ability to present their position and/or convince someone else to pursue their ideas.
