Why Learn Influence Skills?
People with responsibility in organizations spend most of their time trying to manage conflict and influence others – their staff, colleagues, managers, clients, suppliers – inside and outside the organization. Typical influence challenges include improving performance, resolving conflict and differences of opinion, motivating, giving direction, selling ideas, competing for resources, and negotiating. People with limited influence skills are restricted in their ability to deal with these issues effectively. It is common to hear past participants note that The POSITIVE POWER AND INFLUENCE® completely changed the way they worked with people. Read more about the importance of Influence Skills here.
