"The course gave room for evaluation, reflection and learning. It allowed me to build a portfolio of competencies around creating a stakeholder map and ensuring that I have a toolkit of approaches and solutions fit for the business problem."

"Ian is an excellent trainer and facilitator"

introduction:

Every meeting, phone conversation, corridor conversation, presentation, email, piece of work and project is an opportunity to communicate; to get your point across and influence others to your ideas, products, services and new ways of thinking. Many will leave these communication opportunities to chance and 'deal' with them as and when they occur. This brings with it high risk and the likelihood that the opportunity is part or totally wasted. Worse still, we are reminded that 'you don't get a second chance to make a first impression' and that 'people get anchored to first impressions'. It doesn't need to be like this why leave things to chance?

Successful knowledge and information management professionals spend time thinking about their communication and influencing opportunities. They know what they want to achieve, who they need to persuade, and have an understanding of the influencing skills required to enable the change to happen.
