Knowing Me Knowing You

Knowing Me Knowing YouBuild your skills in relationship management
Held on Wednesday 7th & Thursday 8th July, 2010
Happen Academy's 'Knowing Me, Knowing You' two-day programme helps you develop and improve the key skills necessary to confidently champion and engage others in the team/business with an idea from conception through to delivery.

We all know that it's really people who make new things happen – and, more often than not, it's people who get in the way! No matter how great the idea is, it isn't going to happen without people who can push, promote and persuade others to get behind it. And, to do that, you need to get great at understanding and managing stakeholder relationships.

Happen Academy's 'Knowing Me, Knowing You' two-day programme will help you develop and improve the key skills necessary to confidently champion and engage others in the team/business with an idea from conception through to delivery. You'll deepen your understanding of what makes others tick, become more aware of your impact on others (and how to flex that) and learn how to communicate more effectively with different types of people.

During the two days, we will explore and develop skills in the following areas:

1. RELATIONSHIPS ARE TWO-WAY
  • reading others effectively, and really speaking to them
  • using non-verbal communication to enhance relationship-building
  • listening powerfully, hearing beyond the obvious
  • being aware of your own style, and of the impact you have on othersbeing aware of different personality types, and what others need
  • giving and receiving feedback
2. BEING YOURSELF
  • making the most of individual personality type
  • communicating with passion and creativity
  • having 'presence', being authentic
  • speaking with integrity and power
  • being self-aware and in charge
  • increasing self-confidence>

3. ELEMENTS OF GETTING YOUR MESSAGE ACCROSS

  • persuasion
  • positioning
  • conviction and confidence (rather than competition)
  • knowing what's important to the other person, and respecting that
4. PRESENTATION TECHNIQUE
  • basic presentation tips
  • quick planning
  • spontaneity, thinking on your feet
  • entertainment, engagement
  • making your message inspiring
