From the research we have gleaned the 10 most vital factors behind effective influencing.

This advanced programme is based on the latest findings on leadership, and our own research on Influence. It allows experienced leaders the opportunity to examine their current leadership skills and make transformational changes.
Human Aspects of Change Management
In today's business world it is almost impossible to sustain success without continuous organisational change. The 'human' implications resulting from Organisational Change can be very detrimental to a business or organisation. This programme enables you to learn the key skills that are required in order to implement change.

This highly popular and effective programme gives people an accelerated start in managing others through a mix of theory, exercises and practice.

The course is practical in nature hence delegates will have an opportunity to learn from other leaders' strengths and weaknesses.
