Course Overview

Like it or not we are all in sales now. – Dan Pink, Author & Thought Leader

Influencers have the power to affect the thinking, behaviour, and decisions of others because of
their breadth of knowledge, skills, and strength of connection.
An “influencer” can build a stronger case for change because they are “Trusted Advisors”.
Influencing with integrity to help others to make behavioural changes is an art. But there’s a
science to understanding how you go about it.

Topics include:
• The shifting nature of leadership competencies in the new never normal.
• Non-selling selling is a part of everyone’s job now.
• Leveraging the social brain to build trust and understanding.
• The science behind genuine influence and change resistance.
• How to use change models, change tools and the “dos and don’ts” of creating a
compelling change narrative.

Intended For

Open-minded, and forward-thinking leaders who are looking to influence with integrity.
