All of us have times, with colleagues or in the classroom, where we feel our point of view is not being heard and all of us would, no doubt,  like to have more impact. Our ability to successfully influence others lies largely in our own perceptions of our assertiveness. When we understand our own style  and that of those around us, we can correctly identify great tactics. Often we shy away from assertive when we feel inhibited by the other person and this is usually due to differences in personality types. Recognizing this and developing your tactics can lead to greater success. 

To help us build these skills, the session will aim to cover:

• The impact our personality-based preferences have on our (perceived) ability to influence. 
• How to identify and eliminate communication and behavioural roadblocks to facilitate better influencing.
• Understand the importance of managing motivations for successful influence.
• Top tips for better influence, assertiveness and personal impact.
• How to manage the risk of self sabotage.

The session will led by Jan Roberts who is an experienced Learning & Development Specialist  with a track record of over thirty years in a variety of roles and industries.
