EAs are involved in overseeing many projects for their executives and are judged on the outcomes they can influence on special projects or tasks within their departments.

As a result they have to work with many other executives, managers, team leaders and employees. Liaising with all these different stakeholders while ensuring the desired outcomes for these projects are reached can be a difficult endeavour.

EAs must be able to persuade others to their way of thinking or to get buy-in for their vision if they are to achieve the results they desire. This ability requires developing and mastering the art of influencing others.

The ability to influence is based on one’s capacity to create rapport with the relevant stakeholders so as to ensure they will support one’s projects and goals. This ability relies on mastering a wide range of delicate and subtle personal and social skills and must be distinguished at all times from manipulation.

This one day course will lay down the basis for you to develop efficient and easy to use influencing skills and will leave you the ability to move on to the next level of workplace interaction.

In this course you will:

• Master the rules of persuasive and influential communication
• Learn to deal with difficult people and situations
• Get buy-in for your goals
• Remain honest and honourable in all situations
