How to Win Friends and Influence People

Balance Learning, a provider of comprehensive blended learning solutions for strategic corporate training, today announced the availability of "Influencing Skills," a comprehensive blended learning curriculum designed to help professionals work more effectively with individuals and groups and incorporate influencing skills in their leadership styles. The program addresses a wide variety of topics including:

*** how influencing can be used to achieve positive outcomes
*** the use of influencing tactics
*** building trust and rapport
*** developing effective communication skills

The "Influencing Skills" demo offers a look at the training program which features on-line courses, workshop instruction, and on-the-job activities that help professionals understand the benefits of influencing over other action-altering approaches. In addition there are courses on how to use influencing in groups and meetings and how to plan for positive outcomes. Because it is based on a blended learning foundation, the program can be tailored to an organization's unique needs by combining off-the-shelf components with internal learning resources.

"All highly successful leaders are skilled influencers. And like any other skill, influencing has to be learned and practiced," said Chris Horseman, president and CEO of Balance Learning. "This program helps managers and other employees who work with direct reports, teams, and customers use influencing skills to obtain positive, predictable outcomes and enhance personal and team relationships."
