Why this course is important

Scenarios for Use

Influence is designed for senior leaders and executives operating at the highest level of the organisation. It is most effective where leaders are shaping strategy, culture and long-term direction, navigating significant complexity or transition, and seeking a confidential, reflective space to sharpen their influence, judgement and leadership legacy.

The Risk We Address

At executive level, the risks are less visible but more far-reaching. Without space for reflection and challenge, leaders can become isolated, overly reactive or misaligned with organisational values. Influence addresses the risks of strategic drift, cultural inconsistency, succession gaps and leadership behaviours that unintentionally undermine long-term performance and trust.

Skills and Knowledge Gained

Leaders develop deep capability in strategic influence, executive presence and values-led decision-making. Through 1:1 coaching, they strengthen their ability to shape culture, influence complex stakeholder systems and lead with clarity and confidence through uncertainty — ensuring impact that extends beyond their role and endures over time.

They get to know our business inside out. What I find with IED because of that long-term partnership is they're very quick and succinct at giving you a solution to a challenge you possibly didn't even know you had.

The management development programme was insightful and practical. It strengthened my leadership skills, especially in decision-making and team communication.

Thoroughly enjoyed my 3 days covering all topics. Trainer was fantastic with his knowledge and delivery. The group sessions and exercises were my particular favourite part of the course.
A Learner, Kettle Produce
We wanted our supervisors, wherever they are located, to be able to join a leadership development programme that would leave them motivated, engaged and enthusiastic about their role and working with Fugro. The feedback from supervisors has been superb, with people asking to join the programme, in such high numbers that sometimes we have had to find ways to make sure everyone was accommodated.

We find them very flexible; when we need bespoke programmes delivered, they always find a way to make it happen.
