CPHR BC & Yukon

The acid test of a good plan is the willingness of others to implement it. A key skill relevant to leaders at all levels is the ability to positively influence people in such a way that others willingly alter their thoughts and plans.

One's level of influence can be dramatically improved by carefully adjusting ideas to the concerns and communication styles of others, and by formulating ideas in a compelling way. As influencing skills are used more often, resistance to change decreases along with the need to use authority / positional power, leading to stronger relationships and increased commitment.

Results you can expect:

• Improved odds of getting good ideas adopted in the organization
• Improved ability to influence peers and superiors
• Reduced resistance to change
• Reduced reliance of the use of authority / positional power
• Improved relationships
• Increased commitment to new ideas

Target Audience

This course is relevant to people at all levels (including senior leaders) who would like to improve their level of influence without relying on positional power.
