Enhance your professional presence

Build your confidence and gain new perspective

Engaging with Influence is one of IAP2 Australasia’s elective modules in community and stakeholder engagement training, and is suitable for all levels of engagement experience. The sessions are highly interactive where you can network with professionals across varied industries.

The aim of Engaging with Influence is to help engagement practitioners enhance their professional presence. The course explores ways to be “taken seriously” as an engagement practitioner, or how to manage situations where you are the lone voice of engagement in the organisation or “locked out of the room”.

The objectives of Engaging with Influence are to:

• Examine the context in which you work and need to positively influence the views of others
• Explore ideas for engaging with more senior colleagues and clients
• Examine key courses to build respect and relationships
• Build a repertoire of skills to practise.
• Map your network of influencers to reach decision makers

By the end of this course you will have the skills to enhance your professional impact and presence.
