Important - Please read before downloading!
We’re currently updating our complete courses. Where the number of downloads shown to the right is greater than one, it means that the course is in the new format and the combined trainer’s notes for the entire course can be downloaded as one file. The number tells you how many downloads will be used when you download this file.

This complete course is still in the old format so the single download referred to on the right is the course agenda. The course modules referenced in the agenda will need to be download individually and will each count as one download from your allowance (if you have one).

Time:
The exercises in this course agenda can be completed within 3 hours 10 minutes. In total, allowing for discussion, we recommend allowing 7 hours to deliver.

• Define the differences between assertive behaviour and aggressive or submissive behaviours and how to use assertive behaviour to influence.

Group Size:
This course can be used with groups of up to 15 participants.

Useful For:
Anyone who wants to develop the skills to be more influential.

You'll Need:
• A selection of images from Trainers’ Images (or a similar resource) that show people in various tricky situations where they might like to be more influential.
• A selection of picture postcards, one postcard per participant plus a few spares.

Notes:
This is a complete course created using a range of modules from Trainers’ Library. It shows how modules can be combined to create an effective training intervention.

The agenda provides an overview of the training event with each of the icebreakers, course modules etc. taken from Trainers’ Library highlighted in blue. You will need the trainer’s notes, handouts and any other supporting materials for all of the Trainers’ Library material included in the course. Please take time to read through the detail of the Trainers’ Library briefs for each of the modules we’ve suggested including in this programme. We’ve also included additional notes in the agenda to help you deliver a well constructed and coherent learning intervention.

This course has been designed for use with all levels of staff and is intended to help participants become more influential when dealing with others. There is quite a lot of preparation needed so allow yourself time to get everything ready. We recommend that you use an informal room layout for this session.

It is just one of many possible courses on the topic of influence.
