This Public one-day Personal Impact Course is a day devoted to understanding how all of us impact on others.

Personal Impact courses are run by

Graham Bennett

Personal Impact is an intensive course that includes key elements of our Communication, Presentation, Assertiveness and Influencing programmes.

It's designed to bring these elements together to give you a real experience of the Impact you make and how to make the Impact you want.

Starting generally on how 'making an impact' works, we then move on to take a detailed look at how you can improve your ability to work with and influence others.

The emphasis is on creating insight, increasing confidence and raising self esteem.

Personal Impact Course Programme:

Making an Impact

An in-depth look at what makes an impact and how people impact on one another. Followed by a breakdown of the components that go into making an impact.

Analysis of Each Person's Style and Strengths

Each person gives a short analysis of their personal style and what works for them, paying particular attention to how they think they impact on others. They will get feedback from their colleagues on what else they see working.

We then look at what gets in the way of making the Impact they want?

How Feelings can Affect the Impact you Make

This exercise specifically recreates the feelings that people have when they have to do something they find particularly difficult. For instance what happens to them when they are in an uncomfortable or new situation? We then look at the ingrained behaviours associated with those feelings.

Personal Boundaries

This section deals with personal space boundaries as well as internal issues that people would rather not talk about. It is particularly useful for people who have a hard (if not impossible) time saying 'No'.

It's also helpful for people who have a hard time setting priorities because of other people's demands.

Assumptions and Personal Impact

A look at the assumptions we make automatically and how they affect the way we behave.

Agreement

As a tool for defusing polarised arguments.

60 Seconds of Passion

This is a chance for each participant to look at the power of expression and just how much they limit themselves in that expression.

60 Seconds of Silence

This exercise allows the participants to experience the dynamic of silence and to see how they react to it.

Presence Exercise

This is an awareness exercise to help deal with self consciousness.

Everyday Objects

An exercise to stretch the capacity to communicate non-verbally.

First Impressions

A group exercise where each person gets to practise a variety of first impressions.

Language

A group exercise looking at the words we use habitually and an exploration into how the choice of language can ensure a specific response. This is followed by an individual exercise to demonstrate the effect of the deliberate use of emotive words.

Persuasion, Motivation and Inspiration

An individual exercise where people choose a work-related subject they feel strongly about and present it using the work of the day to consolidate their message with the aim of persuading, inspiring and motivating others.

Assessment of the Personal Impact Day

Participants are asked to present what they have learnt from the Personal Impact Course and how they intend to make use of it, identifying specific situations, people and areas of their work to illustrate.
