About the Course

Regardless of the level of technical expertise your organisation possesses, it will be emotional expertise that takes you to the highest levels of performance..

The concept of emotional intelligence first broke into mainstream management in the mid 1990s. In the last 13 years, there have been major advances. Organisations who have used emotional competencies have demonstrated substantial bottom line improvements as a direct result of these efforts.

And now, you can do the same.

You will spend time revising behaviours, beliefs and attitudes and the principles of effective communication to help develop your ability to communicate, negotiate, influence, persuade, lead and motivate others to meet and exceed objectives.

You will take away a portfolio of realistic, relevant and immediately usable models, techniques and approaches that will dramatically improve your performance as a communicator. They will help create, and maintain productive working relationships with colleagues. It will also help contribute to agile team performance.

 

Who Will Benefit

This course is relevant for all those looking to improve their personal performance, productivity, communication, negotiation and influencing skills in the workplace. This can include managers, leaders, specialists, directors and C level management.

Influencing with Questions

Getting people to buy-in to change, change old habits or reflect on deeply held assumptions is a core leadership capability. You’ve probably noticed that simply telling people what to do or showing lots of relevant data on Powerpoint slides rarely sways people – at best getting reluctant compliance.

In this webinar, Andrew Lee will show you some practical tools that will have an immediate effect.
