Course – Leadership and Influence Workshop | Seminar | Training Course
Course Duration 1 Day
They say that leaders are born, not made. While it is true that some people are born leaders, some leaders are born in the midst of adversity. Often, simple people who have never had a leadership role will stand up and take the lead when a situation they care about requires it. A simple example is parenting. When a child arrives, many parents discover leadership abilities they never knew existed in order to guide and protect their offspring.
Once you learn the techniques of true Leadership and Influence, you will be able to build the confidence it takes to take the lead. The more experience you have acting as a genuine leader, the easier it will be for you. It is never easy to take the lead, as you will need to make decisions and face challenges, but it can become natural and rewarding.

A Recent Case Study

Case Study: 86 people, 18-30 years, listing 132 fears about communication. Many of their key concerns were centred on self-confidence, wanting the approval of others, loyalty technique and skill. Feedback Tarran received: “I am stunned at how you had everyone up and involved! By far the best workshop I have done in my 7 years of coming to this event and to see the change in that young man – from quiet and self-conscious, to standing at the front of the room with the microphone… wow. Simply life changing for him!’ said Nathan.
