Communicate with influence
Learner Guide
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to present and negotiate persuasively,
lead and participate in meetings and make presentations to customers, clients and others.
It applies to managers and leaders who identify, analyse, synthesise and act on information

Knowledge Evidence
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
➢ Explain the business and organisational protocols for the release of information and
communicating internally or externally
Links
➢ Clarify and prepare the intentions of their message before reaching out to
communicate.
Communicating at work
Within your role at work, ensure that you have the correct authority for your
communications. You may need to obtain authority from your immediate manager, or from
a group of senior personnel/ management. You may need to do this each time you need to
present a business communication, or just when a new situation arises. However your role
is defined, you should make sure that you follow your organisational policies and
procedures for correct practice, and for the release of information.
Having the correct authority will give you the confidence to carry out your task. It will also
enable you to clarify the exact requirements and to check details that may not be clear.
Different forms of communication
You will need to engage with different types of people and may need to use different forms
of communication on a daily basis.
Your communication skills are made up of verbal and non-verbal attributes:
➢ Verbal skills, this includes:
o emails
➢ Check the information you have been given, or that you have compiled yourself,
and make sure this has been verified and is correct.
➢ Plan how to deliver the information – will a simple written communication suffice
or will you need to make a full presentation at a meeting and provide supporting
documentation?
➢ Make your communications concise and clear for the recipient(s) – if the
information is not understood correctly, this can cause anxiety, frustration or
confusion and lead to errors further along with your organisation’s business.
➢ Be considerate to others and look at how the communication you are preparing will
be received by the intended audience.
Once you have identified and prepared your message, ensure that you use the correct
channels at your place of work to obtain approval for the delivery of your communication.
Follow your organisation’s procedures
Show your intended communication to the appropriate senior person(s) and check that the
message is correct to convey for the needs of your organisation. Once this has been agreed
and signed-off to your organisation’s procedures, you will be able to present your
information.
Activity 1A
➢ Written communication etiquette – ensure the correct format is used for the
specific communication that you are making (as in verbal communication etiquette
above). For example, an informal newsletter will need to be constructed to relay
news in a more light-hearted way rather than a financial report which will convey
facts and figures.
➢ Permits the handling of health information for health and medical research
purposes in certain circumstances, where researchers are unable to seek
individuals' consent
➢ Permits a small business operator, who would otherwise not be subject to the
Australian privacy principles (apps) and any relevant privacy code, to opt-in to being
covered by the apps and any relevant app code
As of March 2014, the following privacy legislation amendments came into effect:
➢ Privacy Amendment (Enhancing Privacy Protection) Act 2012
➢ Take the correct steps to ensure that communications are inclusive for all the
cultural backgrounds of your audience.
➢ How can you best present the information to the needs of the audience?
You may be tasked to present the same information to different audiences within your
organisation, such as management, employees and contract staff. This may make a
difference to your preparations and you may need to adapt or change parts to focus on the
aspects that are of more relevance or importance to the specific audience. Supporting
documents may need to be used and should also be considered to the needs of the
audience.
Your audience may include:
➢ Management
➢ Employees
➢ Clients/customers
➢ Media
➢ Community members.
➢ How time and scheduling may be treated; for example, some cultures observe
specific festival or religious days that may be different to your own
➢ How the culture respects power and how they may respond to authority.
➢ Utilise different communication techniques to engage with the audience and get
the message across. This may include:
Activity
1D
Active listening
Active listening is a technique used in professions such as
training and conflict resolution. This technique requires the
listener to repeat back what they have heard from the speaker
by re-stating, or paraphrasing this in their own words. This
enables all parties to ensure the correct understanding has been
made. This can be a useful tool in business, as it enables you to
clarify information straightaway, and directly with the person(s)
involved.
When discussing your communications and looking for input
from the relevant stakeholders/your organisation, use active
listening skills. This can help all to understand the message and
engage people into talking and contributing their own views and
thoughts on the situation.
Who are your stakeholders?
Stakeholders are all the persons that are connected to, and have a concern or interest
within the organisation.
Stakeholders may include:
➢ Business owner
➢ CEO/Senior management
➢ Employees
➢ Contract staff
➢ Investors
➢ Shareholders.

➢ Yielding – giving in, or up, on a point can help business relationships and for further
negotiations
➢ A written agenda which includes the participant details, location, schedule, points
to be covered and areas for discussion.
➢ Positive
➢ A good communicator.
Models of communication
Lasswell’s model of communication
Harold Lasswell (1902 – 1978) developed a model of communication to show the process in
its simplest form as it applies to everyday interactions.
This follows as:
➢ Who (the communication)
Noise
Feedback
➢ The sender/originator of the information delivers the message
➢ The decoder is where the signal/sound wave/binary data is converted back into the
information
➢ The receiver will then provide feedback to the sender in response to the
information.
Note: noise is the element of distraction that may occur through the sending and receiving
process, such as crowd noise or sound distortion.
These models can help put communicating into perspective as it reminds us of the
processes that need to occur in order for a communication to be successful.
Being a good communicator
As well as looking at the above communication models, it is also useful to look further at the
approach of your communication.
Assertive communication will help you to take control and guide the negotiations and can
prove to be a good method for a successful outcome. This approach requires a confident
and firm direction and should be non-emotional or critical to others.
Passive communication can lack direction and focus for a negotiating-based communication
and could lead to an undetermined outcome. This can prolong matters and lead to
frustration. You should avoid an aggressive communication technique, as this is
confrontational and can lead to an irrevocable break-down in communication.
Be aware of those around you and how they respond to your communications – look at
their body language and listen to any comments that are given.

➢ Confrontation in your negotiations
➢ Emotional responses
Make sure you give your full attention to the audience and if meeting face-to-face give eye
contact equally to all in the room. Along with active listening skills, using reflective listening
skills is also a good way to show that you value the contributions of others.
Reflective listening
This is where you seek to understand a contribution that has been made verbally, by
restating back the contribution to confirm the understanding of this. It looks to reconstruct
what the person is thinking and feeling as well as the overall understanding of the
information.
This is very similar to active listening, but it goes the step further in attempting to
understand the other person’s feelings as opposed to just the correct meaning.
Communication styles
When presenting your information, you will need to be well versed
with the different communication styles that you may need to use
and may come into contact with from your different target groups
and individuals.
As touched on in section 2.3/2.4 of this guide, the following
approaches in communications should be recognised and
understood so you can moderate your approach accordingly.
➢ Assertive
This style of communication is the most effective as it comes from a place of
confidence and a healthy self-esteem. This direct communication is focussed and
enables you to ask for what you want. If used in the right way, it can help you to
come to the outcome that you want but be careful not to disregard the position of
the other party. If you are too pushy or determined it can prevent you from looking
at other viewpoints and make you inflexible when looking to compromise.
➢ Aggressive
This is all about achieving the goal – winning the point regardless of the other party.
It is not about mutual agreement and the individual can become forceful and
bullying in their efforts to achieve their goal. This style should never be used but it is
important to recognise so you are able to understand where the individual is
operating from and take the appropriate stance in your communication.
➢ Passive-aggressive
This can be more difficult to recognise, but essentially the individual will appear
passive and compliant on the surface while using a more aggressive stance when
taking actions. The communications may be pleasant and easy to work through, but
the outcome can be different to what is agreed or expected. Individuals can be
unreliable and follow through by taking a different course of action or by sabotage.
➢ Submissive
This style is about pleasing others in order to avoid conflict. The individual will
disregard their own wants and needs and put those of the other person above their
own. This is not necessarily a style you will experience in higher management
scenarios, but you may experience this in workers within your organisation. This can

leave the other party feeling unimportant and devoid of responsibility while the
more assertive individual may feel frustrated at a lack of concern.
➢ Manipulative
The characteristics of this style are more devious, such as scheming and calculating
to achieve the required goal. It may be difficult to know the individual’s true intent
as they will look to influence or control the outcome in subtle ways. It can be hard
work to communicate with this individual and you may feel that you are always
trying to work out what is going on.
➢ The interactor – prefers to interact with others at work, is fast-paced, works well
with colleagues and tends to use more aggressive communication skills. This type
prefers direct communications with agreements confirmed in writing and likes to
make time for social interaction.
➢ The thinker – is analytical, more reserved until they get to know the people they
are interacting with. This type prefers punctuality and formal discussions with all
outcomes agreed in writing.
➢ The manager – achieves results, is more aggressive and competitive, and less
focussed on relationships. This type is organised, prepared and fast-reacting. Make
sure you are to the point and avoid repeating or over-explaining.
o mediation
o conflict resolution
➢ Keep negotiations focussed so that the relevant points are fully covered and
discussed, and nothing is missed from the intended agenda.
➢ Make your first proposal and set the tone of the negotiations
➢ Listen to other counter-proposals and make sure you thoroughly understand what
is being communicated
➢ The above process may need to happen a few times until both/all parties reach
acceptable terms
When negotiations have begun and the measure of the communication with the other
party/ies has been assessed, you should look at making and discussing compromises.
Suggest alternative proposals while staying true to the objectives that have been set and

listen to any further proposals from the other parties. When negotiating is at a close,
remember to use your active listening skills and paraphrase the suggestions and outcomes
so that all have the same understanding.
Put your outcomes into writing so that a record is made and shared to all involved. This will
provide evidence of your discussions and allow time for further comments to be made, if
needed. It will make the negotiations real and allow progression to be made.
Mediation skills
This is where a neutral third party can help opposing parties to reach an agreed solution
within communications. The mediator can help both/all parties to work together by acting
as an impartial go-between and to help address any blocks and issues that prevent the
smooth running of the communications. Questions can be asked and points can be covered
within a neutral environment so that a more effective outcome can be reached for all
concerned.
Mediation is not legally binding, but if required, it can be made so by the inclusion of a
signed statement requesting this.
Conflict resolution
In situations where negotiations fail or misunderstandings occur
there may be a need to use conflict resolution skills.
When involved in this process, remember to listen and respond
with empathy to the other party, to be involved and ask for the
other party’s perspective and also to maintain your self-esteem
when resolving the conflict. Your body language and tone of voice
should be non-threatening and you should be calm in your
communications.
You should:
➢ Talk through the situation respectfully
➢ Ask for a solution and discuss the best outcome that can be made
➢ Look to agree on the solution and at the action that should be taken as a result of
this.
Competing Collaborating
Assertiveness
Compromising
➢ Competing – top left of the diagram. This is the most assertive standpoint which
does not involve cooperation. It is a standing up for your rights or just attempting to
beat down the opposing party.
Avoiding
➢ Accommodating – bottom right of the diagram. This is the approach made in total
Accommodating
cooperation but without any assertiveness. This can be a selfless act for the better
of others or giving in.
➢ Avoiding – bottom left of the diagram. This is the unassertive and uncooperative
Cooperativeness
approach and the issue is left. This may be sidestepping the issue, postponing until
a better time or withdrawing completely.
➢ Collaborating – top right of the diagram. This is the opposing choice to avoiding and
shows a willingness to listen to others and find mutually beneficial solutions. This
option shows the most developed conflict resolution skills.
➢ Agreements made
3.1. Identify the need for meetings and program meetings in response to the need
3.2. Use an agenda and efficient, inclusive meeting procedures to maximise participation
and maintain order
3.3. Prepare summaries of key issues and possible options disseminated in advance
3.4. Achieve agreed outcomes in the available time by co-operating with and seeking
consensus and compromise
3.5. Outcomes of meetings are promptly summarised for action and distributed to
stakeholders, as required
➢ Create an itinerary for a meeting and a brief outline of the points to be covered and
discussed
➢ Incorporate inclusive meeting procedures to ensure that all parties feel welcome
and included in the group.
o hiring
o staff review/appraisal
o disciplinary actions
Make sure that the meeting is professional and appropriate to the needs of all.
The agenda
An agenda should include the itinerary for the meeting and also a brief outline of the points
to be covered and discussed. It is there to guide the meeting and to provide an order of
events.
An agenda may include:
➢ Date, time and location of meeting
➢ Meeting objectives
➢ Reports/contributions
Remember to allow time for the agenda items to be discussed and for follow-up questions
to be asked. It is also good practice to include refreshments and a comfort break so that the
attendees are made comfortable and productivity of the meeting is maximised.
Inclusive meeting procedures
For the meeting, all parties should be made welcome and be included in the proceedings. If
any person(s) have specific requirements to participate, such as disabled wheelchair access,
support needs or time constraints, you should look to accommodate these needs for full
participation. As mentioned in the text above, regarding the agenda, allow time for the
events of the meeting but be mindful that the meeting does not overrun, as those attending
will most likely have other commitments after the scheduled meeting.
You should:
➢ Be courteous to all
➢ Keep the meeting on track (as the agenda)
➢ Allow time for attendees to provide considered contributions
➢ Maintain order and purpose of the meeting.

When hosting and participating in a meeting, make sure that you, or another appointed
person, facilitate the order of events. To keep the meeting to schedule and to purpose,
someone will need to ensure that the agenda points are covered and outcomes are reached
as needed.
Go to meetings prepared
When participating within meetings, a business summary should be prepared in advance.
This type of document should include the points that are to be discussed, along with a
further breakdown of the options for consideration and any other issues that need to be
raised.
Your business summary may include:
➢ A short introduction to explain the purpose of the meeting
➢ Which option(s) provide the best course of action for all concerned?
➢ Document the details and outcomes of a meeting shortly after it has finished and
have them verified by the appropriate person(s)
➢ Produce a meeting summary that is clearly laid out, is neat and concise, and follows
organisational procedures for producing documentation.
➢ Summarise conclusions
When covering the agenda items, make sure all attendees are involved in reaching the
outcomes. Look to seek the views of those that are present and to find out their opinions.
Work towards making an agreement for each point and if compromise is needed, this
should be fairly managed with the attendees.
From your agreed outcomes, plan the tasks that need to be done and assign responsibilities.
No more time
If time runs short and further discussions are needed to complete the agenda items, make
sure you conclude the meeting as it stands, and clearly state what still needs to be covered.
Organise a further meeting to ensure that the remaining points can be resolved, as soon as
possible, and to accommodate the schedules of the attendees.
If responsibilities have been assigned to individuals, make sure the details of these and any
other agreements are included. This will provide all persons with the correct and definitive
information from the meeting and the outcomes that were made.
It also offers the chance for individuals to clarify details with you, in case any
misunderstandings or misinterpretations were made.
Summarise the actions and any requirements that need to be performed, and by whom. If
actions have been agreed within timeframes, include this information also. This will provide
your evidence of the meeting and the
discussions that took place.
➢ Trade conferences/exhibitions
➢ Business pitches
➢ Client meetings
➢ Client events
➢ Teleconference/video conference
➢ Supplier meetings
➢ Project meetings
➢ Sales meetings
➢ Staff meetings
➢ Emergency meetings
It will depend upon the type of communication that you need to make as to which will work
best. Identify and match the mode of communication to the specific needs that you have.
Research communication channels for your organisation
Within the industry that your organisation operates, identify the specific industry trade
events and conferences that may be applicable for your organisation to be a part of. For
example, if you have a new product to sell, a trade event will be an ideal way to advertise

and promote this. Make the most of any events that are regularly held to establish your
presence within the industry that you are within. This type of opportunity allows you to get
to know your competitors and to build up contacts within your industry and to the public.
There may also be media events that are associated with your type of business and you can
use these to maximise your organisation’s profile and communications.
If there are any industry organisations that you could join (if not already done so), these can
provide a wealth of information for your particular industry. For example, within the
construction industry, the Australian Construction Industry Forum (ACIF) provides
opportunities for their members to attend events (their own and other industry events).
They also act as a conduit between industry groups and government agencies, and provide
news and other business tools for the construction industry.
Connect with government agencies and any supporting industry organisations that may
provide you with information and connections to opportunities with your business
communications.
Use social media
Social media is a great way to promote your business and to communicate your presence to
others. This includes to other businesses, your clients/customers and potential new
business opportunities. As well as twitter, Instagram and Facebook, the below options may
also be worth considering.
Your organisation could:
➢ Produce press releases
➢ Use a blog and connect with your customers (but remember to update this
regularly)
With any use of social media, it is important to respond to posts and any queries as soon as
possible. This method of communication is fast and those using it expect to receive a quick
response in return. If you can dedicate time to manage this form of communication, it can
benefit your organisation, if not, expanding this area of communications may not be the
best solution.
➢ Gather the information compiled from research and use to form a presentation.
➢ Government agencies
➢ Business contacts
➢ Trade contacts
➢ Research papers
➢ Trade journals/sites.
You can also look within your organisation to find sources of information that may be
relevant to your needs.
You can also talk to:
➢ Your colleagues
➢ Senior personnel
➢ Consultants
➢ Your customers/clients
➢ Your suppliers.
➢ Prezi presentation
➢ Internet access
➢ Interactive whiteboard
Make sure that you do not overdo the amount of additional media to support your
presentation. Remember that people have come to see you present and not the white
screen behind you.
Preparing handouts
If you need to produce a handout to support your presentation needs, make sure this is to
the point and is visually appealing. Use your organisation’s templates and guidelines for
producing documentation to ensure that this correctly advertises the professionalism of
your organisation. Spell and grammar check, and ensure a suitable moment is made to pass
these out to the members of the audience.
When you have prepared your presentation, check through and make sure that you have
contained the information that you need.
You should also look at this from the perspective of the viewer and make sure that this is
not too long and that the order and information makes sense. When you are happy with
this, remember to practice your delivery so you can get to know this well and deliver this
with ease.
An effective presentation
To produce a winning presentation, it is important to rehearse
your delivery. Through practice, you can both learn your script
and be fluent in your presentation skills. Your understanding will
translate to confidence and the audience will automatically
engage at a deeper level.
You can also, through practice, rehearse the script until you can
confidently move away from the set format to deliver a more
bespoke presentation that best suits the needs of the audience.
This would enable you to introduce anecdotes, stories or visual
imagery to allow you to keep your presentation fresh and
appropriate to the persons attending. This will help your
audience to understand specific aspects that you want to relay.
Remember not to overload your presentation with too much
information.
Most people will only remember the first three/four points that you make. Try working your
presentation around three main points and build supporting information to help convey
this.
Make sure your use of language is appropriate to your audience. For example, if presenting
to industry contacts, you may use more specific business terminology. Be mindful of your
audience and where they are from so you can engage them correctly. Use explanations that
the audience can relate to. For example, there is little benefit to providing historical
production information when the audience are only interested in the new products you are
launching.
Move around to engage your audience
When you are presenting, if you have space, you should move around and use this. Engage
with all of your audience, look around, make eye contact and use your body language to
show a command of presence. A good example of this is when Apple launch a new product
and present this to a live audience (and online).

You should:
➢ Stand tall
➢ Be energetic
Using media
You may need to use multimedia when delivering your presentation. Ensure that a balance
of imagery and media is used alongside your own presenting skills. This should be used to
support your needs and to add additional emphasis where needed.
Interacting with your audience
When including audience discussion time and questions and answers, during, or at the end
of your presentation, make sure that time is allowed for this process.
Encourage a verbal dialogue with your audience and remember to keep answers to
questions short and concise. This allows more people to ask questions and prevents the
presentation from overrunning. It also stops people from becoming frustrated and leaving
before you have properly closed the proceedings.
Avoid arguments
If anyone becomes aggressive or insistent
with a question or discussion point, try to
explain and clarify this to alleviate the
situation. If this does not help resolve the
individual’s needs or more in-depth
questions arise, offer to discuss the matter
after the presentation has finished. This
way you can acceptably move on and
diffuse any further confrontation from
occurring.
After the presentation has finished, make
sure you follow up with the person(s)
involved to answer their questions and
resolve any further issues.
At the end of your Learner Workbook, you will find the Summative Assessments.
