What is the Leadership and Influence course?
Leadership involves more than formal authority. Effective leaders create clarity, build trust, understand different perspectives and help people move towards shared goals when priorities or viewpoints differ.
Influence is the ability to gain understanding, support and commitment through communication, relationships and credibility. Participants practise listening, questioning, stakeholder engagement and clear messaging so they can influence constructively without relying only on position.
Strong leadership and influence skills help managers and emerging leaders respond to resistance, align stakeholders, handle difficult conversations and turn decisions into clearer ownership and action.
In this course, participants learn practical approaches for leading conversations, communicating direction, building trust, influencing across teams, managing disagreement and creating commitment. The programme can be adapted to your organisation’s leadership situations, culture and terminology.
Work organisation
Plan tasks, schedules and information systematically.
Professional communication
Write, speak and respond with clarity and courtesy.
Records & documents
Keep, file and retrieve records accurately.
Office coordination
Coordinate meetings, resources and follow-up.
Everyday office tools
Apply the programs commonly used in administrative work.
Problem resolution

Is this course right for your team?
A quick check against what this programme does and does not set out to do.
A good fit if
- Managers and team leaders need a more consistent approach to leading people and gaining support
- Leaders need to communicate direction clearly across different people, teams or stakeholders
- Employees need stronger skills for influencing without relying only on formal authority
- Leaders want to build trust, credibility and stronger working relationships
- The organisation wants practical leadership skills that support collaboration, alignment and action
Consider another course if
- You need specialist executive coaching or a long-term leadership development programme rather than a practical skills workshop
- The priority is technical management training rather than people leadership and influence
- You are looking for a formal leadership qualification or accreditation instead of workplace training
- You need specialist legal, industrial-relations or clinical guidance rather than leadership communication skills
Not sure? Tell us the situation and we will point you to a better-fitting programme.
What business problems does this course help address?
These are the day-to-day symptoms organisations describe when they ask us about leadership and influence training.
Work is handled reactively
Requests are dealt with in the order they arrive rather than by priority, so important tasks slip.
Follow-up actions are missed
Commitments made in meetings or email are not tracked through to completion.
Records are hard to locate
Documents and files are stored inconsistently, so retrieving them takes longer than it should.
Written communication creates confusion
Messages need clarifying, which generates extra correspondence and delay.
Office tools are underused
Staff rely on manual workarounds instead of the programs already available to them.
Accuracy drops under pressure
Details are overlooked during busy periods, and the rework costs more time than the original task.
What participants will be better able to do.
