Do you sometimes feel like your words are falling on closed ears?

Do you know what is important to the people around you and how to use this information to build stronger relationships?

On this Influencing Masterclass you will gain powerful insights into how people think, make decisions and feel motivated. You’ll discover more about yourself and how your unconscious biases affect your day to day judgement. You will learn how to influence and inspire others to achieve results for your organisation, your team and yourself.

This masterclass will enable you to:

• improve your own decision-making by raising your awareness of your unconscious biases
• use language to really engage people’s hearts and minds
• ask questions that really get to the heart of the matter
• have conversations that deliver messages with real impact
• engage the listener by identifying their often unconscious preferred thinking style and tailoring your language to match
• be confident you have made yourself understood, even to that hardest to reach person
• sell your ideas in a way that is respectful of your audience or client and allows them to make a choice that is right for them

This engaging and interactive full day workshop is being run at a highly subsidised rate by Kevin Downsworth, founder of First Position. It will give you practical learnings that you can apply immediately to improve your own performance and influence others respectfully and with integrity.
