Communication
& Influence
PPS International Limited has deep expertise in working with organizations
in order to enhance and build communication and influence skills.
We are experts at developing communication skills in leaders and team members.
We believe communication skills are so important to success that every program in our curriculum of off-the-shelf learning includes a module on communication. We’ve developed our own proprietary Communication Cycle model to organize and demonstrate the important components of communication. Our Communication Cycle has been used by hundreds of Fortune 100 and 500 companies around the world for more than 30 years.
When we teach communication skills, our participants practice them in a variety of scenarios, using their real-world situations, which builds confidence that these skills make a difference to outcomes. Our consultants are required to be able to model the communication skills we teach—both in the classroom and in their interactions with our clients and us.
Poor communication is often in the top three areas identified as needing improvement in employee engagement surveys, 360-degree feedback survey results and development plans. Participants tell us that learning communication skills, especially how to use active listening, is the most valuable skill they’ve learned.
Every role requires the ability to be influential.
We know how to create influential individuals.
Influence is being able to get results through others, garner support for initiatives, make a recommendation that others will accept, encourage others to a point of view and secure resources. Our experience shows that individuals struggle to be influential for a variety of reasons:
They don’t know how to adjust their style to the preferences of others and approach everyone in the same manner.
They don’t know how to ask for what they want or need in a way that makes sense to business leaders.
They think that the relationship, their authority or their "good idea" should be enough for others to say yes.
They equate informing with influencing, and miss the nuances to gaining support from others.
For more than 25 years, PPS International Limited has worked with individuals, sales representatives, leaders, executives, Human Resource Managers and individual contributors as they learn:
Communication and influence skills that make it more natural for others to collaborate and work together.
How to build trust, relationships and rapport that ease the way for decision making.
Ethical and authentic approaches to navigate organizational politics and dynamics while being influential.
Ways to be influential without having formal authority, in teams, matrix organizations and with vendors, suppliers and customers.
