Course Overview
A process for persuasion in professional conversation that managers quietly work around has already failed. People decide what professional conversation really means by watching who gets promoted. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from this part of people management and development, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting persuasion in professional conversation and under-invest in testing it. Practitioner evidence points the same way: the people management and development capability improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. The course sets out a working method for professional conversation that participants can apply the week they return. The programme works equally well for those formalising persuasion in professional conversation for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting professional conversation, ready to be adapted internally. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this part of people management and development that participants can repeat annually.
