Course Overview
The way work gets done is not always written down.
Have you ever felt there are how things get done in the office and then there are how things get done?
You may have heard the term “Soft Power” but aren’t sure what it means.
At WorkJuggle we understand that the office can be a maze and difficult to navigate.
WorkJuggle’s The Unspoken Rules of Work: Understanding and Navigating Office Politics is a practical, interactive half-day virtual programme that helps professionals understand the dynamics around them, build positive influence, and navigate tricky situations with integrity.
You’ll learn how to read the room, strengthen relationships, communicate strategically, and handle competing agendas – without compromising your values.
