Influence is one of the most critical skills for success in modern organisations. Professionals are expected to lead projects, shape decisions and secure support, often without formal authority. Yet even strong ideas can falter if resistance builds or messages fail to land.This two-day workshop offers a clear, practical approach to influencing in real workplace contexts. Drawing on behavioural insights and hands-on practice, participants explore how to map stakeholder priorities, lower resistance and build trust. They craft resonant messages, apply tactics ethically and design follow-up actions that create momentum. By the end of the course, each participant leaves with greater confidence and a personalised influence impact plan ready to apply at work.

  • Describe the factors that shape influence without authority in real work contexts.
  • Analyse stakeholder needs and priorities to inform your influencing approach.
  • Identify triggers that create resistance and apply techniques to reduce them.
  • Select appropriate influence tactics based on trust and risk dynamics.
  • Craft messages that resonate using framing, tone, and storytelling.
  • Design follow-up actions that minimise friction and support follow-through.
  • Evaluate an unsuccessful influence attempt and revise your approach using MOVE.
  • Develop a personal plan to influence effectively in a current or upcoming challenge.
