More Information

Influencing others is a fundamental human skill that plays out in everyday workplace interactions—from team collaboration to client engagement and leadership conversations. Yet many professionals fall back on default habits that limit their impact and miss opportunities to build consensus or inspire action.

This workshop addresses those challenges by helping participants differentiate between influence, persuasion, and manipulation, and by exploring the science and styles behind effective influencing. By broadening their understanding and toolbox, learners will be better prepared to approach interactions purposefully, with both ethical clarity and strategic impact.

Throughout the session, participants will examine common influencing scenarios and practice applying different approaches to real workplace challenges, enhancing both confidence and competence. They’ll also explore the role of rhetoric and audience awareness in guiding outcomes without relying on positional power.

By the end of the workshop, individuals will leave with a clear influencing strategy tailored to their needs—equipping them to foster stronger professional relationships, navigate complex conversations, and support organisational goals more effectively.
