Remote Influencing

Follow-On Option – One Day

In our technologically advanced working world, with virtual teams, global customers and partners, and matrix relationships, many individuals don’t have a chance to influence in a normal, face-to-face environment.

Many organisations are still based on a traditional ‘HQ plus regional office’ structures, so remote working is commonplace. Add to this the pressure to shrink carbon footprints and costs by reducing travel, the increasing cost of office space and the need to attract and retain talented staff, it is clear remote working is here to stay.

Yet how can anyone effectively influence a person they can’t see or talk to face to face? How do you manage to make your point when you can’t get visual feedback?

The Remote Influencing follow-on programme delivers practical techniques and practice sessions for influencing remotely – whether via email, telephone or conferencing. It will focus upon skills and influencing behaviours that specifically overcome the barriers that this form of communication presents.
