'Building Influence in the Workplace provides the reader with an excellent model by which to analyse how they currently influence others and where and how they can improve their skill in this area. Easy to read and understand, with plenty of reflection points, readers who are committed to developing themselves in this area will find this coaching approach supportive and thought-provoking. I particularly liked Aryanne's challenge to her readers to consider the 'price' of being more influential and whether they are ready for the responsibilities greater influence brings.' - Amanda Whiteford, Head of Learning and Development, Tube Lines
