Overview

About this course

As more businesses move away from traditional hierarchical structures, and start relying more on teams, influencing skills have never been more important. Having good influencing skills helps you develop your communication and interpersonal skills so that other people want to give you their help and support – rather than being coerced into it.

You’ll learn how influencing skills are used in the business world, as well as exploring what makes people great influencers. You’ll be tasked with identifying the great influencers you know, and spotting what makes them so good at it. During this eLearning course you will recognise your own weaknesses when it comes to influencing, and take meaningful steps to improve.

By the end of the course, you’ll have built on your own influencing skills to become confident and self-assured in both business and personal environments.
