Don’t take our word for it. Here is what our clients say .....
"As leaders it is our role to ensure that we are able to offer our team members every opportunity to develop to their full worth and potential. I have been most impressed by the impact of The power of Influence development process on the personal development of members within my team. Although technical skills are not too difficult to acquire, the same cannot be said about leadership attributes such as the ability to influence rather than direct. This is where we have found The power of Influence development process most effective, with the combination of coaching and team interaction proving very successful."
Duncan Fraser, General Manager
Dowell (a Boral company) 2009

“The power of Influence development process has been the most impactful professional development I have undertaken in my career to date. I have witnessed first hand the subtle changes in personal style and approach which have led to significantly better business outcomes and more effective working relationships. I believe that anybody whose success is dependent on leading & influencing others and is 'ready' to undertake the journey, will find this program truly inspiring."
Hamish Riddell, Group Manager

“The power of Influence 'facilitated' development process is both subtle and yet intensely powerful! I have done a number of leadership and professional effectiveness training programs over the years but none have had such impact on me or have provided a better sustained 'return' on my working relationships and success.
The program allows you to specifically target individuals you wish to work with more effectively and then encourages you to examine your influencing style. You then begin to discover ways you can approach these interactions differently so that you can produce better outcomes. Because the program is based on 'real-life' relationships and situations, you are able to prepare 'just in time', receive feedback and really see changes in your approach and more importantly in your end result!
I have experienced powerful changes in my personal communication style and effectiveness that have significantly impacted my working relationships with my managers, stakeholders and peers. As a result of my own experience, I have since sponsored some of my management team members who have also been able to significantly improve their confidence, effectiveness and results through the program. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who needs to build positive working relationships, and to anyone whose success is dependent on the cooperation and support of others."
Narelle Wilson, Operations Training & Development Manager

"Before I started this course I was aware that my influencing style was not perfect but never quite knew what was lacking. Learning the approach from Tim has had a profound effect on my ability and confidence to handle difficult workplace situations.
Learning in a small non-threatening mentoring program allowed me to practice real life scenarios with other participants. This role playing was invaluable; at times breaking into a sweat, or laughing at how real it felt to be doing this. The discussions and review of this activity meant that each member had an opportunity to practice, observe and give constructive feedback.
Tim practices what he preaches and presents in a calm manner, allowing participants to feel relaxed and perform to the best of their ability. He squeezes the most out of each session, further leaving participants with an 'influencing scenario' to practice and share at the following session."
Alex Miltinan, Quality Manager
Solar Systems Pty Ltd 2009

“The power of Influence is a process of self discovery and evolutionary change. It is a systematic process which can be applied in a variety of situations- face to face, phone, video conference.
More often than not, when I picked up the phone to ‘communicate with others’, I had an opinion or point of view which I wanted to impress on them. I thought that this was a successful approach, but it did not always work.
The power of Influence uncovered flawed behaviours and opened up a more effective and productive way forward, where both parties contribute and share in the success of outcomes. Funnily enough, it made dealing with people on repeat business, much easier.”
Rodney Cornwall, Supply Chain Manager
Amcor St Regis Bates 2009

"The power of Influence development process taught me as much about myself as it did about negotiation and influence. Having a better understanding of myself has really helped in refining my approach to all important conversations - be they a quick phone call or an annual contract negotiation. The skills learned through The power of Influence have become an invaluable part of my day to day work."
Rohan Kile, Crop Supply Manager
GlaxoSmithKline 2009

"The power of influence development process was valuable and had a positive impact on my ability to engage with people and influence outcomes to achieve performance objectives. The principles for successful influencing that were presented and practiced during the course continue to deliver ongoing benefits when applied to key meetings as well as everyday situations."
Blair Sands

“The power of Influence development process was introduced to me via my HR Manager. With some scepticism I sent one of my direct reports along. I am really pleased that the senior manager that participated in the program emerged a different and better manager.
I found that the program was practical and immediately applicable in the workplace. I could see the difference in how this manager handled himself in situations that previously were a battlefield. Success for any individual is dependant on three factors:
- the participant’s personal commitment
- the facilitators of the development process and
- the mentoring and support of the sponsor from the workplace.
I will certainly be sending more of my staff on the program.”
Howard Date, General Manager
