Framing what you want in terms of what the other person is accountable for.
Influencing skills for people who lead without authority
Making a clear case, reading the room and holding a difficult conversation without damaging the relationship you still need next week.
Format
One or two day workshop, highly interactive
Method
Real scenarios from delegates, practised in the room
Delivery
Face to face across the UK, or online
The thinking
A great deal of work now depends on persuading people who do not report to you. Project leads, specialists and support functions are expected to move an organisation without ever being able to instruct it.
These sessions build both halves of that skill. The technique to structure an argument, and the self awareness to notice how your natural style is landing while you are still in the room.
What it covers
The part people remember afterwards
Presence under pressure
Staying calm, clear and credible when the conversation gets warm.
Difficult conversations, handled
Opening the subject everybody has been avoiding, and closing it with an agreement.
Knowing your own style
Personality profiling is used where it helps, so you can see why you connect easily with some people and not others.
Who it is for
You will recognise yourself here
- 01Project and programme leads

- 04Anyone whose results depend on people they do not manage
Where this is delivered
Sessions run face to face anywhere in the United Kingdom, from London and the South East to the Midlands, the North and Scotland, at your offsite venue or your own offices.
Where teams are spread across sites, time zones or countries, the same work runs online in shorter, focused sessions, so nobody is left listening in from the edge of a room.

Helen really listened and understood what we are trying to achieve as an organisation and as a team. The workshops were fun, engaging and delivered beyond our expectations.
Thank you for the coaching, it has made my working life just so much easier. Everyone in the organisation should do this training.
My self awareness is now so much higher than before, I feel really positive about the way forward now, thank you.
A highly practical and enjoyable session resulting in a set of skills that I can use both in and outside work! I wish I had known some of this stuff 10 years ago!
Helen is able to build rapport and engage with people at all levels.
Helen has coached and supported me personally through some challenging moments in my work and home life and her ability to listen with compassion and to genuinely work at empowering you to find your own meaning and solutions is exceptional.
