Credibility in the Workplace

Being seen as credible at work can be a key indicator of your professional success. Wherever you sit in your organisation’s hierarchy, this one-day workshop will give you time out to reflect on your current working behaviours and how they impact and influence those around you.

Course Overview

Credibility isn’t about being the loudest voice in the room. It’s about being trusted, respected and heard—for the right reasons.

In this interactive session, you’ll explore the building blocks of credibility and how to use them to strengthen your influence at work. You’ll reflect on how you come across, practise assertive communication and learn strategies to build trust—without pretending to be someone you’re not.

  • Reflect on your personal brand and how you want to show up
  • Leave with practical steps to grow your professional confidence
