Influence in Action
In just three easy steps
The Influence Company guarantees to launch the way in which your organisation influences people to new levels of effectiveness. In three logical steps, your key personnel can master their own influencing behaviour.
Our unique and innovative three-stage learning system ensures that, not only are skills learned and understood, but the newly-gained knowledge is actively used and continually developed, long after our initial involvement. The return on your investment will show in myriad day-to-day transactions for years to come.
Influence in Action
Pre-Workshop 360º Survey
Objective analysis
We start by analysing the participant’s current influencing style and levels of skill. This is done by way of a 360º on-line questionnaire, specifically designed for this learning experience. The results of the questionnaire will be accessed by the participant before the programme. This means they participate from a position of objective knowledge and self-awareness. It is also essential to our workshop facilitators, as they are then able to tailor the outcomes of your delegates’ learning to suit their individual needs.
The pre-workshop survey is unique to The Influence Company and has been researched, developed and rigorously tested.
It takes about 10 minutes to complete, and is carried out by the delegate, his or her work colleagues and other corporate stakeholders who know and communicate regularly with the delegate. A 360º picture is therefore available to the delegate and the workshop facilitators, before the training is delivered so that the results can be assessed during the workshops. This unique method of evaluation before learning, means the result are analysed and actively used during the learning process, where they will be of most value.
Foundation Day Workshop
Bring in the Influence experts
Once the workshop facilitators have analysed each questionnaire, they tailor the one-day ‘foundation’ programme to the individual participants.
The day is built around our unique Route Map, which consists of twelve Influencing Behaviours. These provide participants with clearly defined strategies to use in order to get win:win results in the work place.
Our workshop facilitators use a variety and refreshing array of learning methods, and are careful to ensure that each participant is adapting the material to his or her own situation and workplace. The facilitators are extremely strong influencers, and ensure that the least participative and most assertive delegates are equally catered for. Much of the day involves interaction between the workshop facilitators and delegates, time for reflection and planning and plenty of opportunity to discuss an individual’s challenging real-life situations. Above all, delegates get to practice and implement their newly acquired insight.
The day finishes with each delegate completing an action plan, which is ready to translate into your organisation’s bottom line.

The Application of Influence
How does The Influence Company solve the age-old challenge of post-course action? The delegate leaves our programme with an action plan, a high level of motivation and good intentions – and our research shows that in nearly every case, they will carry out their action plan.
But how do we encourage them to keep using the Route Map and the skills they have learned?
A handy 12-step Route Map card swatch is provided to each delegate for a pocket, handbag, desk drawer or briefcase.
There are then a variety of second-day workshop options that enable the participant to extend and deepen their influencing ability, depending on the strategic importance of their role.
Our post-workshop downloads and updates are designed to keep the Influencing skills top of mind. They are quick and easy to access, and inspire delegates to self assess and course-correct their behaviour through consistent exposure to the material. These can be supplemented with webinars; a forum that enables further discussion with workshop facilitators and allows delegates to cement understanding. It can be an opportunity to ask questions that arise after skills that have been practically applied in the workplace.
Our community of Influence delegates is growing, and enables individuals from different walks of life to educate and inspire each other with specific tales of influencing success.
