Description

When we come into contact with other people, whether face to face, online or in writing, we encounter ‘the Difference Moment’. What I mean by this is that how we respond to one or more other people can be positive or negative. Our part in the interaction can contribute positively to enriching and empowering the other person(s) and ourselves, but it can also contribute negatively to the other person(s) by disempowering and diminishing them, while diminishing ourselves in the process. This is the ‘Difference Moment’, the critical moment at which our reaction has positive or negative consequences.   

This course provides a basic introduction to the importance of ‘influencing skills’, the skills we can use to try and make sure that the difference we make is a positive one. After a short video introduction the course offers four video-based lessons:  

  1. What are influencing skills? This lesson clarifies what is meant by influencing skills and gives some examples of them in action. It gives a flavour of how and why influencing skills are so important when it comes to making a difference.    

  2. Tools for making a positive difference (Parts I to III) Skills are a good starting point, but practical tools also have an essential part to play. These three lessons therefore use the ‘Getting CLOSER’ framework to outline some of the useful tools that can be drawn upon.   


    There is also a module companion workbook that you will need to print out before you start the course. It contains space for notes plus an exercise relating to each of the three lessons. This is an important resource for you, as it will help to extend and consolidate your understanding and provide you with a set of notes to act as a reference source for future development.

The instructor was clear and eloquent enough. He broke down the course into easy to understand format. There was no technicalities or ambiguous use of words which made the course simple and easy to understand. It was straightforward and interesting.

A very informative and professionally delivered introductory course. Dr Thompson is an excellent presenter and I especially appreciate his "CLOSER" framework.

Introduction to the main themes of having an impact on others. Made some very poignant points in little time. Course sets you on path to learning more about this theme.

Unfortunately I personally did not enjoy this course. I did not find the course engaging at all and feel like I have not really learnt that much.

This course is wonderful. It confesses that peoples’ confidence, empathy, kindness, respectfulness, congruence, openness, honesty, calmness, consideration for others, reliability, positivity, sensitivity for others, non-spoonfeeding, win-win-situation-creating, effective conflict management, trustworthiness, confidentiality-keeping, non-judgementalness, selflessness and giving others chances to use/link their own existing ideas and knowledge (than spoonfeeding them), positively influences others, but only if it is used in conjunction with creating win-win situations. So these elements of positively influencing others are very karma dependent.

Basic and short but very focused on the key aspects of how to be have positive impact on people and create a win win situation. Summation of course and convergence to CLOSER( Communication/Congruence, Likability, Openness, Sensitivity, Effective conflict management, Reliability) is what I liked the most about the course. A bit more detail will be of help but as the Dr Neil mentioned it is only introductory course, the rest of the details can either be practiced or learned on-wards.

I thought that the instructor helped explain the context of positive behaviour and the two way nature of it. Puts a solid framework on what should be "common" sense and how to apply it.
