Leadership masterclass: Influencing & persuading

During this Leadership Masterclass with Julie Jones from Think Productive, you’ll learn how to uncover the psychology behind transforming your influencing skills.

Do you wish you were better at influencing and persuading others? Your ability to influence is one of the key human skills needed for success in the workplace, at any stage of your career.

The old style of command and control (just telling people!) is giving way to collaboration, cross-team, and partnership working, so effective influence and persuasion are critical.

In this highly practical workshop, you’ll reflect on your own personal style and we’ll be opening the doors to psychological skills such as active listening, empathetic questioning and positive framing. You’ll gain an understanding of how different people think and how the organisational culture you’re in affects your ability to influence.

By the time you leave, you’ll understand how influencing works and be equipped with the techniques and strategies to transform your confidence in influencing and persuading others

• Become empowered by harnessing your individual influencing style
• Understand the psychology of influencing, including how your body language, words, and work culture impact your ability to persuade
