  IMCHK Webinar: Building Trusted Relationships and Becoming a Trusted Consultant

 

 

 

 

17September 2022 Saturday 10:30 am - 12:00 noon (Via Zoom)

 

 

 

 

Introduction: The need for trust in dealings with clients should be obvious, yet levels of trust are often surprisingly low. There was a time when clients trusted professionals automatically, based solely on their name and reputation. That world has gone, but the need for trust has not gone away. What has taken its place is the necessity to earn it (and re-earn it) throughout a professional’s career. The more you are trusted by your clients, colleagues and subordinates, the more you will get from them and the more you will thrive professionally and personally. So we all need to ask ourselves; How much are you trusted by those you deal with?

Program Outline: (1) Explore the key elements that underpin the ability to grow and maintain trust, (2) Learn the Trust Equation template, (3) Understand how to attain the status of Trusted Advisor, (4) View the impact of culture on the  trust process, (4) Focus on Dr Robert Cialdini’s 6 Principles of Social Influence.
