Our Influencing and Communication Skills courses are there to support everyday interactions in the workplace. So often we have to find ways to simply get other people to do something. Most of us have a few influencing tricks we use regularly but it’s when they don’t seem to work that we might need a few more options.
Here are some of the questions that often surface in our training rooms, with some thoughts we explore together.
We’ve all been there. We’ve sat in the comms workshops, read the books, nodded along to TED Talks about empathy, active listening, difficult conversations, and speaking your truth and yet, even with all that knowledge, we still find ourselves walking away from meetings thinking,
Why on earth did I say that?
or
Why didn’t I just listen properly?
At Aspire, we work with brilliant people—clever, experienced, emotionally intelligent leaders—who know what good communication looks like. So why don’t they always do it?
When people hear the word presentation, they often picture a formal boardroom or a high-stakes pitch deck. But the truth is, presenting isn’t just for keynote speakers or senior leaders – it’s a vital skill for anyone, whatever you do.
Whether you’re sharing an idea in a team meeting, giving an update on a project, or persuading stakeholders to back your proposal, you are presenting. And how effectively you do that can shape how your ideas are received, how confident you feel, and even how your career progresses.
We see time and again how developing this skill can be a game-changer – not just for individuals, but for teams and entire organisations.
