Influence Dimensions

The number one problem for people at work

After more than fifteen years of involvement with hundreds of Australian organisations we didn't find it hard to identify the Number One problem in most workplaces. Employees and managers don't find it hard either.

The Number One problem is that people communicate poorly.

We regularly observed serious communication problems in the workplace. We found a lot of evidence to suggest that even small communication difficulties, if ignored or managed badly, can result in major conflict and performance management problems.

We also noticed that these problems are often addressed far too late, usually well after the damage is done.

People bring the Number One problem with them to work every day because they're people. The difficulties arise from the ways we interact, our of language, and the nonverbal and unconscious behaviours we engage in.

A solution that starts to work as soon as people do ^TOP

We wanted to design a developmental tool that would give people more awareness of their own communicative behaviours and some immediate practical approaches to improving their effectiveness.

We saw the need for a new generation tool that would move beyond personality and team profiling, and would give people.

·           Data presented in a simple and user friendly way

·           Information they can easily remember

·           Feedback that doesn't put them in fixed categories or stick labels on them.

·           Some techniques that can be used immediately, the very next day, in the workplace.

The Influence Dimensions systems is the result.

Influence Dimensions is a process for profiling individual and interactive communication styles in a way that helps people achieve immediate practical outcomes, regardless of their workplace situation.

One-day workshop ^TOP

To introduce the process we have developed a one-day workshop designed for all managers, supervisors, trainers and consultants. The workshop teaches influence skills that can be applied immediately and intuitively in the areas of team building, negotiation and conflict resolution, learning and development, recruitment and selection, induction and training.

You'll work through the profiling process yourself, receive feedback on your own individual and interactive styles, and learn how the tool can be used with other. You'll also receive the detailed 72-page Influence Dimensions Workbook.

Accreditation ^TOP

This workshop is the first step for those wishing to gain accreditation in the use of Influence Dimensions: a series of Train the Trainer sessions is also available.
