Description
This short online course will help you understand how to effectively develop and use your influencing, negotiating and networking skills – three skills that can have a positive impact on your professional life.
In our professional lives, we are constantly communicating. We can communicate for many different reasons, but often we are sharing our ideas, discussing work priorities or meeting new people – and the success of these conversations will depend on how we communicate.
This is where our influencing, negotiating and network skills come into play. These aren’t skills that come naturally to everyone, but an understanding of how they work will take you a long way.
Suitable for anyone in any role, our short online course will give you knowledge, insights and techniques to help improve these skills and take you further in your professional life.
The course covers the following topics:
- Negotiating and influencing, the differences and how they are used

Booking was easy the website had all the information I needed so once I booked the package I then received notification to allocate the spaces, which again was really simple to do, our staff will be doing this training on the January training day, but if they wanted to do it before they now could so for staff who work part time it's perfect.

Ease of layout, also can revert back should you be unsure of content of lesson and there is the ability to make notes on the system although I still use paper and pen.88
