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

Personal Impact is run by 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 take a detailed look at how you can improve your ability to influence others.

First we examine the whole area of verbal and non-verbal communication and get an appreciation of the conventions and boundaries unconsciously observed by everyone. Then we move into an exploration of each person's ability to 'work' their environment.

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

Analysis of each person's style and strengths

What gets in the way of making an Impact?

Feelings

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.

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 particularly useful for people who have a hard time setting priorities because of other people's demands.

Assumptions

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 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.
