Influencing and negotiating

Fostering collaboration

Getting people on board in a way that fosters collaboration

Just getting on with others in the workplace is not enough to achieving personal or organisational objectives. The ability to truly influence others and negotiate effectively is essential for building stronger working relationships that drive growth and performance. Understanding others perspectives and our own emotional intelligence is at the very heart of our abilities to persuade and influence.

Creating better working relationships happens one conversation at a time. How this happens will depend on many different factors such as current quality of stakeholder relationships, your own levels of confidence and your own awareness of how you ‘come across’ to others.

It takes a strong blend of capability and confidence to navigate away from making do with artificial harmony and lean more into difficult conversations, shape outcomes and turn challenging situations into opportunities for growth.

What our clients say about us

Katalina Charalambous, Head of Human Resources, Moco Museum

“As a Dutch company expanding in the UK, we knew we had to follow and understand the local labour laws, HR practices, and working culture and we could not have done this without People Business. The consultants assigned to our business (Natalie and Lucilla) who I personally worked closely with, provided consistent, thoughtful support, always checking in and making time to advise me. What stood out most was the genuine effort to understand Moco’s organisation and adapt their guidance to our culture, making complex matters clear and manageable. Their support has been essential to me in a busy role and I would highly recommend People Business to any international company seeking trusted HR expertise in the UK.”
