What to expect

One of the greatest capacities we possess is the ability to influence behaviour. Yet many of us struggle to do it effectively when it matters most.

Leadership isn’t just about creating inspiring visions or detailed plans; it’s about mobilising others to make them happen. At its heart, leadership is intentional influence. If behaviour isn’t changing, leadership isn’t working.

Crucial Influence goes beyond corporate perks and charismatic personalities to teach a practical method for influencing human behaviour. You will explore how personal, social and structural factors shape results and how to use them to create meaningful, lasting change.

Whether you’re launching a new project, improving safety, rolling out new systems or helping your team build stronger habits, this course shows how outcomes depend on people and how your ability to influence them determines success.
