Influence and Impact

Advanced communication skills for leaders

This 3 day workshop looks at multiple scenarios requiring you to communicate effectively and with impact, including:

• Influencing at all levels of an organisation
• Mastering negotiations
• Difficult conversations
• Presentation skills
• Bids and pitches.

The ability to communicate with impact is an important quality in a leader. To be able to instil confidence, deal with strong personalities and pressured situations are key attributes, whether you are directly managing a team, a project or are perhaps tasked with winning business for your organisation.

Presentation skills, negotiation skills, and much more: become an exceptional communicator

Taught at Henley Business School, UK, this fast-paced programme covers a range of communication scenarios and the tools and techniques to respond to them, improving your capability and confidence as a communicator.

You will:

• Have plenty of practice time
• Focus on using your own examples during the programme
• Work with a peer-network in a closed, confidential environment.

We have all experienced exceptional influencers and communicators; audiences listen to them and these leaders have real impact. The skills that these people display can be learnt and developed. The Henley Influence and Impact programme will teach you how to adapt your own communication style to become an exceptional communicator.

Practice, practice, practice During the time at Henley you will have many opportunities to practice using the tools and techniques discussed. We will encourage you to practice a forthcoming pitch, negotiation, presentation, difficult conversation and how you come across.
