Soft Influencing Skills: A Transformative
Two-Session Program
Inspire Action. Shape Outcomes.
Why This Program?
Influence isn’t about power or position - it’s about connection. It’s about understanding how people think, how they make decisions, and how to communicate in a way that makes them want to listen. The most effective leaders and change-makers aren’t the loudest in the room; they’re the ones who adjust their approach to resonate with those around them.
That’s what Soft Influencing Skills is all about. In this immersive two-session program, you’ll learn how to refine your communication, build rapport, and tailor your approach to different thinking styles—so your ideas gain traction and drive real results.
Powerful influencers don’t push their ideas - they guide people toward them. They recognise that the key to influence is flexibility in communication. The more adaptable you are, the greater your impact.
Master the 7 Filters – Understand the hidden mental filters that shape how people process information and make decisions.
Communicate with Precision – Learn how to adjust your language and approach to align with the thinking patterns of the people you want to influence.
Build Lasting Rapport – Develop strategies to connect effortlessly, so people feel heard, understood, and open to your ideas.
