Personal impact is essential. It is not influenced by role, level of seniority or job experience. The strength of your personal impact directly effects how you are perceived by others and the credibility that you build.

DCo provide bespoke programmes that develop self awareness and improve the impression you give of yourself in a range of situations.

Working in the areas of developing personal awareness, improving personal impact and defining personal brand we have designed and delivered programmes to a number of sectors including:

• Engineering Managers
• Managers within a Biotechnology Company
• Apprentices in Manufacturing
• Charity Fundraisers
• Public Sector Graduates
• Manufacturing Leaders
• Architects
• Managers with the Construction Industry

The need to make the right impression exists from your early career right up to senior leadership levels. DCo have developed a leadership programme that challenges individuals to maintain the impression they make on others and refine their personal impact when facing a range of leadership situations. We also regularly work with apprentices to shape the impression they make through their personal brand.

Positive personal impact is important to achieving successful work outcomes. DCo regularly work with employees who need to operate more confidently within a large network, need to effectively represent the business to external stakeholders or need to drive projects and change initiatives within teams.

Our personal impact programmes have an interactive format that allows for a high level of skills practise to take place. The learning environment is candid yet supportive, using observation, review and feedback to facilitate learning and achieve sustained improvement.

A Client’s Experience

A programme designed for a Global Biotechnology company to meet the need to improve personal impact within formal presentation and negotiation situations received 100% positive reviews from delegates who previously lacked confidence interacting within large groups and speaking to unfamiliar audiences.

The programme was designed to achieve the following objectives:

• Practise the skills that can be very effective in creating resonance and a making a positive first impression

• Explore the verbal and non-verbal aspects of communication, such as tone of voice and speed, as well as body language and personal appearance that influence how others see you

• Establish areas of strength and weakness, as well as the threats and opportunities that stem from these

• Discover how to maximise the impact you make in large group settings and formal presentations

• Have a higher level of confidence and feel more able to manage their nerves when speaking publicly

The transformation in confidence and personal impact levels was noted as being very evident and sustained on return to the workplace. The format for the learning was an interactive workshop approach that provided practical techniques on an individual basis and allowed delegates to engage in relevant and challenging skills practise.
