CMS: Skills for Future Facing Teams - Enhance your influence

This interactive and engaging session from CMS will introduce you to practical tools and approaches to ensure that you are able to build relationships, communicate ideas, influence the thinking of other, and ultimately get things done in your role.

Communication and influencing skills are a vital capability for all professionals. They help us to build relationships, communicate ideas, influence the thinking of stakeholders and ultimately, get things done. And yet we often underestimate the extent to which our personal impact and communication skills contribute to our personal and professional success.

This 90-minute webinar will introduce you to psychological insights that will ensure that you are able to maximise your personal impact and influence more consistently in your roles.

By the end of the workshop, you will:

• Know how to prepare for important interactions so that you strengthen your mindset and extend your influence before the conversation begins.
• Know how to position your point of view with impact and manage questions with confidence so that you maintain credibility and build trust.

• Understand communication skills and behaviours that foster connection and engagement so that you inspire your listener’s trust & generate buy-in.

Speakers include:

• Jennifer Macdonald - Communication Coach and Facilitator, Pippa Bateman Communications
• Claire Walker - Head of Client Training, CMS
