Interaction Styles in Action: A Beginner's Microcourse in Influence

Communicate with Confidence. Influence with Impact.

Every conversation you have—whether with a colleague, client or leader—is shaped by your personal preferences and ways of working. In this bite-sized learning campaign, you’ll discover how to recognize your own style, identify the styles of others and adapt your approach for greater influence and stronger relationships.

Over a series of short, mobile-friendly lessons, you’ll learn to:

• Understand your preferred interaction style and how it affects your ability to communicate and influence others.
• Identify cues to quickly recognize other people’s styles.
• Flex your approach to improve collaboration, reduce tension and enhance results.
• Apply practical strategies to real-world workplace and personal interactions for greater influence.

By the end of this micro-learning journey, you will have the tools and confidence to adapt your communication in any situation—making you a more effective team member, leader, and influencer. The skills you develop will not only improve day-to-day conversations but also strengthen trust, increase cooperation and help you achieve your goals through more productive interactions.
