Influencing & Negotiation skills
Your ability to get others to do what you want is an essential skill that underlies selling, negotiating, managing, leading and handling difficult behaviour. Influencing also implies that you won't use behaviours that cause bad feelings in others. No use of fear or threats. The ideal is to move others in your direction and build on the relationship at the same time.
Paddy can design a program to meet your particular needs. The building blocks of such a program could include:
Influencing and negotiating are 'soft skills' that have very hard consequences. Unfortunately, these skills are not 'natural' and must be learned.
Imagine the success of your organization if everyone was skilled in reaching outcomes that suited both parties, including your clients and customers.

Creating high performing teams is vital to your organisation’s morale and success. An effective team is the most productive unit available to management. Individuals are limited and usually flawed. Teams are united and strong. One person’s limitations are another person’s strengths providing they know how to work as a unit. Teams can achieve the almost impossible or simply point out people’s interpersonal limitations.
Paddy can help you implement successful and proven team strategies that can have your teams working together more effectively.
The length, content and format of all presentations can be customised to suit your program requirements.
Self Motivation
Sometimes people know what to do but simply need a reminder or “a shot in the arm”. Maybe they are tired after a long project or period of change. Perhaps they need reminding of their worth or their importance in the chain of service.
Paddy’s motivational presentation called “How to inspire yourself and others” includes:
If you are looking for a presentation that will leave people feeling motivated, energized and ready to get on with the year...this is it!
The length, content and format of all presentations can be customised to suit your program requirements.
