Course Outline

The power to influence, motivate and persuade others is a learned skill. Improving your ability in these areas will enable you to increase your levels of success in both your personal and professional world. Research has shown that individuals who possess strong social interaction skills tend to command higher salaries than their equally talented but less influential colleagues.

The Influence, Motivation and Persuasion program is different than negotiation. Negotiation attempts to focus on coming to a mutual agreement in situations where at least one party sees a conflict of interest, whereas influence and persuasion is designed to win over the other person by removing any perceived obstacles that may hold them back. This ability to influence, motivate and persuade is a critical skill for managers particularly in times of uncertainty or when organizational change is needed. This program will explore the six key principles of persuasion, understanding the elements that define individual motivation and the art of communicating to persuade. The end result will help you connect with people in a way that generates commitment rather than mere compliance or non-performance.
