Introduction to Impact & Influence

It can be a challenge to strike the right tone to appear authoritative without being overbearing. Speaking with impact and influence is a learned behaviour, and mastering it requires understanding the middle ground between being aggressive (hostile or domineering) and passive (not assertive enough).

Frequently Asked Questions

Have any questions? We’re here to help

Can I customise my training to include multiple courses?

We are happy to build a training solution that fits your time, budget, and goals.

How do I prepare for a training session?

Our Client Services team will liaise with you to ensure all the timings, logistics and room/tech requirements are agreed ahead of the event. We also ask all delegates to complete a short questionnaire to help us understand individual challenges and goals. For some of our courses, we’ll ask you to bring a short presentation to work on. Otherwise, we just ask you to come with an open mind and be willing to learn.

What happens after I complete a training session?

We provide detailed workbooks for the training and encourage delegates to fill them in and refer to their notes regularly after the session. We also have a suite of blogs, podcasts and videos to support the learning.

What is included in with On-Demand training?

You’ll have access to your training instantly, anywhere in the world, at any time for a 3-month period, along with a digital PDF workbook to download. We also include an audiobook with 7 hours of additional content to deepen your learning.

What is the difference between one, two and three-day courses?

Simply, additional modules and learning plus more coaching time. We understand that time and budget are sometimes limited, so we offer one-day courses to provide a valuable foundation. Adding on additional days allows you to dive deeper into communication and presentation skills through advanced body language and managing difficult conversations to questioning, listening, and peak performance mindset. We are happy to tailor the training to meet your budget, time and goals.

What is the ratio of trainers to learners?

This depends on the type of training you’re looking at. For group training, our ratio is typically one trainer to four delegates; this allows for plenty of individual coaching and feedback. Our masterclasses are generally hosted by one presenter and up to 100 people.
