Content

The event will encourage you to develop your influence skills by clarifying your own goals and considering the perspectives of others. This may be particularly attractive to those undertaking new and additional roles in a changing museum operating climate.  The training will end with action planning leaving delegates with a toolkit of actions to go back out and make themselves heard.

The workshop will help participants:

  • Understand the components of influence
  • Plan influence campaigns
  • Deconstruct their own messaging and identify if there are ways to improve
  • Adapt communication modes to increase the likelihood of successful influence
