The CSL Distance Learning Programme

Course 2: Influencing Others


Course Dates: 1st November to 10th December 2021


Whatever the leadership role, there is a need to get the support of many other people to advance projects, stimulate innovation and succeed with change. There is little of significance that can be achieved today by people working solely on their own.

This course provides tools to enable participants to improve how they influence others in support of effective communication and collaboration.
