There’s a massive difference between leadership groups who politely sit through one another’s updates (while engaging in silent turf wars) and
leadership teams that align around a strong set of collaborative purposes and beliefs.
If you want to achieve the latter, you are at the right place!

Part 1: Foundations of Influence
In this first part of the program, we lay down some of the essential underpinnings of your success in influencing others.
-
Understanding the 3 ‘M’s - your roadmap for success
-
The mindset that will fuel your success - especially for handling pushback and resistance (the one thing you can bank on!)
-
Choose your ‘who’s: Navigating the complexity of different stakeholders and mapping a sequence of engagement
-
Nailing your ‘Big So What’ - the core of your conviction
-
People buy people first: how you show up will make all the difference. Time to hold up the mirror, people!
Part 2: Building agreement, navigating resistance
It’s time to roll up our sleeves and get stuck right into the mechanics of influence.
-
Start with the heart - how to keep emotions on side in decision-making
-
Mapping out the value of your ideas
-
A powerful framework to prepare for your conversations
-
What to do when they say “no” or pushback
-
Avoiding the double-edged sword of presenting “the evidence”
Part 3: From agreement to action
It’s one thing to get people saying “yes”. It’s a whole different ball game getting them to take sustained action. We unpack what it means to ‘engineer’ movement.
-
Understand what gets in the way of real behavioural change
-
How to build early momentum and quick wins
-
How to help people build habits and forge a sustainable path to success
-
Avoiding the risk of ‘shiny new object’ syndrome derailing your project
-
Embedding your initiatives into the DNA of your team or organisation.
Part 4: The Bonus Lessons
Everyone loves a bonus, don’t they? This final part of the program is where I share some additional insights and frameworks that can help take your ability to engage and motivate others to the next level. Bonus lessons include:
-
The psychology of persuasion
-
Different strokes for different folks: how different personality styles shape the way you influence
-
How language changes the game
-
Using stories to engage your audience and leave a lasting impression

A WORD IF I MAY...
ASYNCHRONOUS COLLABORATION
We spend too much time in meetings!
This has got to be one of the most common complaints of the modern office worker. And right now, with lots of people returning to the physical office after months and months of working remotely, there’s a very real risk that we go into a kind of “face to face binge fest” - where we spend huge amounts of time in meetings and workshops that might not always be necessary….
Custom Facilitation
Offsites, retreats and meetings can very easily become talkfests that achieve nothing of any lasting significance. So many strong personalities in the room, all well-intention but each with their own agenda… The idea of bringing in an external facilitator to help with a planning session or retreat can strike terror into the hearts of some executives.
What if the facilitator asks us to hold hands and sing songs of praise to one another…?
Simon is not one of those facilitators. He listens, he reads a room, he makes great conversations happen and then he drives everything to clear, meaningful outcomes..
Positive Influence
What would it be like if more people listened to more of your ideas, and took more action as a result?
Your level of influence has a big impact on your ability to make a difference in your organisation - to shape decisions and gain the cooperation of others.
Simon is one of Australia’s leading teachers on the topic of influence and collaboration. In this workshop, he can help you to better understand the different dimensions of effective influence, and equip you with practical skills and strategies you can start applying straight away.
Simon also works on an ongoing basis with teams to help drive a culture of collaboration and positive influence.

"Simon recently worked with our sales staff to improve their effectiveness. Feedback from all the group was very positive with many colleagues asking "what next". From my perspective, as a sales man of 20 years, he really made me think about how I perform, how we as a team work as well as generating an environment in our workshop for possible new strategies. We had a great workshop and will be looking to work with Simon for some time."
