Part A: Your sphere of influence

We investigate who you need to influence and the barriers to doing it effectively, exploring difficult situations where leaders need to step up rather than shy away from articulating their perspective, such as facing challenge from peers, dominant personalities or opinions, and competing agendas.

Part B: New ways to win hearts and minds

We zoom in on your own sense of purpose and how it aligns to the corporate direction. We build influencing skills based on empathy, ownership and collaboration, equipping you with courage and skills to articulate your perspective with compelling conviction and magnetic results.
