Seminar 2: The Art of Strategic Persuasion

As part of leadership development, your employees’ ability to persuade is a critical component to their future success as well as to your organization. If they are not able to convince their customers or colleagues to buy into their ideas, they’re probably not communicating at their highest potential. It’s not enough to simply understand persuasive tactics; it’s essential to learn the critical skills necessary to determine tactics that would be most effective. This workshop will help your people to avoid hidden pitfalls that might sabotage their ability to influence, how to lead with indirect authority and walk away with a toolkit to maximize their personal power.

Participants will learn to:

• Learn the critical tools needed to persuade and influence key decision makers, customers and cross functional groups
• Identify the 5 Key Persuasion Styles and their relationship with personality
• Understand the 6 forms of persuasion strategies as key personality motivators
• How to frame a convincing argument
• Manage constructive confrontation – how to think strategically on your feet

Suggested Time Frame: This seminar can be delivered in a one day or two day format
