The Persuasion Process
Many managers fail not because they lack initiative, good ideas or energy, but because they do not know how to persuade staff, peers or senior management to his/her point of view. This failure in his/her skill set leads to de-motivation and a perception of someone who ’doesn’t get things done’ simply because he or she is unable to motivate action. This course will help managers lacking these persuasive powers, or those who feel the need to improve their existing skills.

Presentation 1 - Preparing for the Presentation
Too many managers, particularly the less experienced, believe that the secret of a successful presentation is simply to ’get up there and hit ’em between the eyes’ with what they have to say. The truth is that, whilst the presentation style is obviously very important, it is what goes on beforehand that makes the difference. The course will help you make that difference by successfully preparing yourself, the environment and the presentation content.

This is because team members can undertake many non-critical tasks and feel valued as a result of the added responsibility.

Using Open Questions
Many job roles require the job holder to gather and establish facts and information. Equally, many roles rely on an ability to deal with people and, as a result, understand how they feel and why they react in the way they do; indeed, most managers’ roles requuire both these sets of skills. Becoming competent in using open questions will, therefore, mean you are able to perform key areas of your job more successfully.
