Better Business Relationships - Colleagues and Stakeholders™

Building trust-based relationships with other people is vital for long-term success
An organisation’s success depends on the ability of its people to co-operate, collaborate and work seamlessly, appearing to the world as a single entity. This can be a major challenge. Pressures of time and money, internal structures, geographical distance, differing KPI’s and more – all serve as blocks to effective collaboration.

This workshop, based on the proven IOWEU approach of providing value in every interaction, focuses on how to build trusted relationships with colleagues and other stakeholders that enhance an organisation’s relationship capital.

The unique ‘I Owe You’ framework gives you an immediately applicable method for understanding your own personality and that of the people you deal with, and demonstrates why it is critical that the former comes before the latter. More than that, it provides you with simple tools and approaches tested by leading organisations, to help you build deeper, more trusting and more successful relationships with colleagues and stakeholders.

Benefits of this course
- Interact effectively with colleagues and stakeholders through a deep understanding of their needs and goals.
- Create environments in which people are open and collaborative.
- Achieve consensus and commitment to move forward.

Who should attend?
Attending the workshop will be beneficial for many audiences:
- Anyone responsible for a team or organisation that needs to ‘sell’ its ideas or value to others.
- Anyone wanting to improve their own ability to develop deep business relationships.
- Anyone wanting to improve relationships within a team or organisation.
