Structure Power2Influence® Executive | 2×3 days course
The Power2Influence® Executive programme is a blended training programme, designed to enable you to work on your influencing skills in a very intensive way. As the director of your own learning outcomes, you define your own learning objectives, the content of your personal programme and how far you want to step outside your comfort zone to achieve the result you are looking for. This is what the training looks like:
Pre-work: Personal intake & Influence Style Questionnaire
One month before training, you will receive an invitation to activate your profile in the Influence Hub®, our online learning platform. There, you will complete your Personal Intake to define your learning objectives and the Influence Style Questionnaire, a 360-degree assessment of your influencing approach. In addition we ask you to invite (max 7) supporters from work to provide feedback as well.
Day 1: Introduction & the Influence Model®
On day 1 you get to know the group, the trainer(s), and the programme. You start with an assessment exercise, in which you deploy your current, natural influence behaviour. This is followed by a theoretical discussion of the Influence Model®. At the end of the day you set up specific learning objectives for yourself.
Day 2: Theory Influence Model® & practical exercises
You continue with the theory of the Influence Model® and learn to use it effectively through short role plays and exercises (leadership situations).
Day 3: Your own programme
On the third day you put together a programme with exercises that are relevant to you. Examples are: one-to-one discussions, meeting exercises, or group exercises (leadership situations).
Break: 28-day programme
The time between the first and second training block is dedicated to applying your learning goals and assessing your progress in developing new leadership skills. As you return to your daily work, you put your insights into practice, refine your approach, and discuss progress with your training buddy (another executive) for ongoing feedback and support.
Day 4: Recap
The first day of the second training block starts with a reflection on the first module and the sharing of experiences with your fellow participants. The rest of the day we focus on extensive practice with various styles in challenging leadership scenario’s.
Day 5: Your own program
Day 5 is also dedicated to extensive and intensive practice with various styles. You will choose new (more challenging) exercises that align with your personal goals as an executive.
Day 6: CIS
On the last day of the programme, you will work on your Critical Influence Situation (CIS). This is a real-life case that you will practice this day to apply the learnings afterwards in your work situation. The CIS will give you a solid grip on what behaviour will work best for you. It will provides you self-confidence to use it in the future! You also explore strategies to sustain your insights and newly trained behaviours before concluding the programme.
Challenge: Leading under pressure
During the second training block, you face a Leadership Challenge designed to push you beyond your comfort zone. This exclusive component remains undisclosed until the training, ensuring a fresh, real-time learning experience. Through this challenge, you gain deeper insights into your leadership style and influence under pressure. It’s a unique opportunity to test, refine, and elevate your executive impact in a high-stakes environment.
