Influencing Skills

Whatever your role in the university, influencing will be key to achieving results. For technicians, this includes both formal and informal contacts with fellow staff members and others inside and beyond the institution. This course uses recognised frameworks based on research and practice to take you through effective influencing and negotiating approaches. It also looks at different contexts and how to tailor your approach to the situation in front of you.  

Building Confidence

Most of us feel more confident in some areas of our work than others. Technicians may feel that their confidence is challenged in some situations and may want to build confidence to achieve more. This course uses recognised frameworks based on research and practice to help you build confidence and act more assertively at work. It also looks at different contexts and how to tailor your approach to the situation in front of you.
