Stakeholders and Internal Influence is a practical, two-day course that develops the skills required to work effectively within, across and between organisations. The subject has an intervention design with a full-day facilitated workshop, a four-week intervention period and a second full-day workshop. This spacing allows participants to reflect on what they have learned and put the learning into practice. There are also pre-course readings and leadership assessments to prepare participants, provide meaningful insights and build a base of relevant knowledge. Although the course involves only two days face-to-face, the individual experience is a genuine leadership journey.
The subject covers the skills and tools that ensure positive workplace discussions and outcomes. What is your conflict and communication style? What issues could this cause? How do you build relationships and connections that help achieve workplace outcomes? How do you have conversations with team members, actively listen, provide support and coach them? How can you better understand your team members, your colleagues, and your organisation so that you can navigate a complex landscape? The course focuses on learning through doing and following activities with reflection. Every lesson leads to an actionable learning that makes a difference.
