Building Relations & Asserting Influence

Building and maintaining good relations with people is a key skill in any type of role, but the art of building trust, establishing strong relationships and delivering a successful message isn’t just what you say:  How you communicate and present yourself plays a huge part in how effectively your message is shared. Your audience needs to see you as a reliable, confident figure, and immediately connect with you and your message.

This course will help you develop three skills: self-awareness, secrets of understanding others and how to ‘flex’ your style to build powerful relationships. The course takes an exciting journey not only through behaviour but, also some of the neuroscience behind techniques in how to influence others successfully. It provides is a unique opportunity to develop proven skills of leveraging successful relationships and influence successfully.

At the Civil Service College, we tailor our courses to each participant’s role and organisation, ensuring that each participant gets the most out of the training. Our courses and trainers are continuously updated and evaluated to ensure that we are always delivering the best service possible.
