What is Consultancy Skills - Advising

As a professional you give solicited and unsolicited advice to the people for whom or with whom you work. It is not easy to give advice to a layman based on in-depth knowledge of matter. People with a strong analytical attitude often find it difficult to sell their insight to third parties: they go too fast, they get bogged down in details or they do not know how to express the right tone and attitude. The result is resistance and irritation.
In this training we focus on successfully advising clients: how does your advice come about and how do you prepare for it? Being familiar with advisory skills helps you to get your advice accepted. Byempathetic listening, understanding the context and analysing the situation you come to proposals for improvement. Getting an advice accepted is then the ultimate benchmark for being successful as an advisor.
Notice: homework will take between 4and 8-hours study time before and during the course.
