What you will learn

Get the most out of every situation
How do you easily convince people of your ideas and proposals? How do you get buy-in from people? Trying to do things your way sometimes leads to clashes with your colleagues. Not taking a position means that you don’t achieve your goal. Find out how you effectively achieve your objectives, while taking other people into consideration.

The Influence Model® teaches you how your current behaviour affects others. Experience how you can be successful using a different approach. With our help, you personally guide yourself through your learning process. During your training programme you will determine your learning objectives and your path towards reaching them. You decide how far you want to step outside of your comfort zone to get to the desired result. This will ensure that you will be successful in achieving the goals you are aiming for!

Positive Power & Influence® Programme equips you to:

Understanding your own behaviour and that of others.
Effectively dealing with resistance and confrontation.
Getting people involved with your ideas.
Providing clarity in your communication towards others.

More key takeaways of the Positive Power & Influence® Programme:

You are able to persuade others about your plans.
You are able to effectively state what you want and what results you expect (providing feedback).
You enhance collaboration by addressing challenges and concerns directly, rather than avoiding difficult conversations.
You create enthusiasm and get others on board with your vision or idea.
You get the most out of the Influence Model® by acting on all 3 levels:
– Level 1: Influence Energy
– Level 2: Influence Style
– Level 3: Influence Behaviour

For whom

The Positive Power & Influence® Programme is relevant for professionals at all levels! The ability to influence others is necessary in order to achieve your goals, regardless of which position you hold in your company.

Examples of common participants are: managers, project managers, specialists, graduate students, etc. Whether your goal is to have proposals approved, being more involved in important meetings, or you would like to have more confidence during discussions, there will always be someone you need to influence.

The Positive Power & Influence® Programme consists of practical exercises, so that you will be at the centre of attention most of the time – also because there are only 9 participants per trainer.

Course programme

Structure Positive Power & Influence® Programme | 3-day course

The Positive Power & Influence® Programme is a blended training programme, designed to enable you to work on your influencing skills in a very intensive way. As the director of your own learning outcomes, you define your own learning objectives, the content of your personal programme and how far you want to step outside your comfort zone to achieve the result you are looking for. This is what the training looks like:

Pre-work: Personal intake & Influence Style Questionnaire
One month before training, you’ll receive an invitation to activate your profile in the Influence Hub®, our online learning platform. There, you’ll complete your Personal Intake to define your learning objectives and the Influence Style Questionnaire, a 360-degree assessment of your influencing approach. In addition we ask you to invite (max 7) supporters from work and personal life to provide feedback as well.

Day 1: Introductions & The Influence Model®
On day 1 you will get to know the group, the trainer(s), the programme, and The Influence Model®. You will start with an assessment exercise, in which you deploy and discuss your preferred influence behaviour. Afterwards, you set up specific learning objectives for yourself. This is followed by a theoretical deep dive focusing on two of the four Influence Model® styles. You learn to use those styles effectively through short role plays and exercises.

Day 2: The Influence Model® & practical exercises
You continue with the deep dive and exploration exercises of the remaining two styles of the Influence Model®. Next up is putting together a set of exercises that are relevant to you. This could include one-to-one discussions, meeting exercises or group exercises. You will then actively tackle these exercises designed to help you achieve your learning objectives.

Day 3: Your own programme
On the final day, you’ll focus on your Critical Influence Situation (CIS)—a real-world influence challenge relevant to your work. This exercise helps you apply what you’ve learned and provides a practical foothold for future situations. You’ll also explore strategies to sustain your insights and newly trained behaviours before concluding the three-day training.

Support tools: the 28-day programme
As you return to your daily work, you’ll actively apply your learning objectives and personal exercises from the training. You’ll discuss progress and feedback with your training buddy and use the Influence Hub® for evaluation and job aids. It’s up to you to integrate your new skills into everyday practice!

The course clearly explains each behaviour style and allows us to build common language across the company. It will be enjoyable identifying future behaviour styles with my teammates, and I see it as a way to break tension and strengthen relationships. It has made me a more effective leader
