Assertiveness and Influencing Skills (1 day)

This fresh and exciting look at a critical topic for the business professional has been written to take advantage of a greater understanding of human behaviour.  Business decisions are often driven by personality and the need to empathise and connect with those inside and outside the firm. Popular business psychology is introducing new practical skills into the area of communications. People are using Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to get an edge in negotiations, transactional analysis has changed the way of approaching business and personal negotiations and it is becoming critical to understand the growing field of emotional intelligence and proactivity. This one day course on assertiveness and influencing skill combines the best of all those subjects, in a highly interactive and useful session.
