Who is organising this training course?

I am a trilingual Learning Professional located in Luxembourg, with 30 years of experience and a proven track record in industry, academia and consulting. My observation is that technical skills get people hired, but the so-called soft-skills are what allows them to develop their maximum impact. My conviction is that people skills and managerial skills are learnable and teachable. My passion is making breakthrough learning happen through enjoyable training sessions and professional coaching.

What are the aims or the skills being targeted?

This session looks at our impact on others and improves participants’ ability to:

Distinguish the four main influencing styles
Identify their own preferred style
Switch to a different style when the situation requires it
Increase their chances of influencing and convincing others

What does the training course cover?

Influence is part of everyday professional life. Most professionals depend on cooperation from people they do not control. We constantly need colleagues, clients, managers, and stakeholders to support ideas or take action. Effective influencing is not about manipulation. It means understanding others, adapting our approach, and using different styles depending on the person, situation, and objective.
