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.
