Influence & persuasion
In any business, people need to connect quickly and effectively with colleagues and clients alike to establish meaningful relationships. Across all sectors, personal presence and impact is the key to building a lasting impression.
The de Burgh group offers two courses that explore these vital communication skills, providing training and practical advice that can be used in workplaces and business environments:
- Influence and Persuasion
- Personal Impact
Influence and Persuasion
Our Influence and Persuasion course, a half or day course, is available for large groups in a seminar style setting or smaller groups of under 10 where the sessions have a more hands-on element to them. Types of clients who regularly attend these courses include lawyers, business managers and support staff.
The course explores the subtle techniques of split-second and long-term persuasion and influence. Course attendees learn how to tip the scales in their favour during business dealings – from clearly establishing messages to ensuring ideas get pushed over the line.
It teaches how to demonstrate confidence and gravitas in different situations and how to create a positive and memorable first impression. There are tips on how to influence and persuade others – individuals and teams of people – even in the face of resistance to new ideas.
