To communicate effectively; to facilitate improving performance; and to negotiate positive outcomes with colleagues, customers and suppliers, we need to influence others. Influencing is something we do every day and is particularly important in our professional lives as we seek to ensure our work impacts the organisation positively.

Negotiation is another skill we use every day – from agreeing what the kids can watch on their devices, to what to have for dinner, to the remit and timescale for an upcoming project, to contracting a systems upgrade, or planning the year-end process, and so on. Even applying for a new job is a negotiation around skills, requirements and their worth. In this course, we look at developing your influencing skills and combining them with negotiation skills to improve your effectiveness at work. 

We hope you enjoy the course.
