Influencing: Adapting to Personality Types
Knowing how to influence people effectively, and with confidence, is a skill that can make a huge difference to your career, your day-to-day work life and your personal relationships. Every interaction you have with anybody has an element of influencing or persuading going on. My goal is for you to feel happy, confident, and in control when trying to influence others - especially in a management role If you feel like you avoid confrontation, are under-appreciated at work or at home, can't get through to your teammates, or are not sure how to get what you want from life, then this practical course is here to change your life. The communication skills you will develop during this course will allow you to head into any interaction without stress or worry. You’ll become a master of the art of persuasion and learn a practical step-by-step process that can be applied throughout your life. This course takes Chris Croft’s engineer’s analytical perspective and applies it to influencing - so you’ll find plenty of structure and practical solutions and no unethical manipulation techniques. First we’ll talk about what influencing actually is and why the traditional stick-and-carrot method just doesn’t work. Then we’ll look at the process of influencing, starting with what your objectives are, how to be liked, and how to explain what your problem is to the other person in a way that will get results, not conflict. We’ll discuss the four different types of people you will encounter and then we’ll take an in-depth look at how to adapt your techniques to deal with each of them effectively. The goal is to get a win-win result out of every situation. Chris Croft is an international speaker, and widely published author, who's been teaching influencing for over 20 years. He's taught all over the world, as well as online, and has an entertaining and practical teaching style.
