How to Improve Your Personal Influence™ People Smart Workshop

Personal Skills Training for Improved Interpersonal Communication

Do you find it difficult as a manager to get things done your way and have those you supervise rally to your side? Do you wish you had more influence with your team? Many people have never been taught the basics of effective communication. They have little influence with others and do not know why.

You can intuitively recognize a person with personal influence, in social situations and at work. People who have personal influence have great interpersonal skills and are able to motivate people to do things for them voluntarily. They are usually well-known and popular. Co-operation is not a problem and they nearly always experience great success in whatever project they take on.

If you were a student and it was report card time, what kind of grade would you receive on your interpersonal skills? How important are interpersonal skills for a team leader? The better your interpersonal communication skills are, the more likely you are going to be respected and trusted by your team.

Communicating and dealing with people accounts for a large portion of most manager’s daily work. The way managers and employees communicate dramatically affects morale, teamwork, productivity and employee retention. Frequent workplace interpersonal communication breakdowns can cause employees to become disengaged.

Often organizations do a good job in training their managers and employees in necessary job duties, but completely overlook interpersonal skills training. Most managers or supervisors want to improve interpersonal communication with those they manage, but have no idea how to do this. They don’t know where to start, what to do or how to make communication truly effective.

If you are stuck or struggling with team interpersonal communication, you’re not alone. You can significantly improve your professionalism and influence with training in the art of becoming people smart. Not only can you immediately experience effective communication in the workplace that improves morale and productivity, you can build a solid communication foundation for your team that will serve you well for years to come.
