Practical skills for confident engagement and better outcomes

Stakeholder engagement is a core part of local government work. Done well, it builds trust, reduces risk, and supports better decisions. Done poorly, it can slow delivery, create resistance, and damage relationships.


This practical, evidence-based course helps local government professionals engage more confidently and effectively with stakeholders.

The focus is on real-world application. You will work with your own projects and leave with clear tools and actions you can use straight away.


Course Outcomes

  • Identify critical stakeholders who can make or break your initiative
  • Recognise and respond to different stakeholder interests, power dynamics and expectations
  • Build engagement strategies that align with purpose and values
  • Use a structured stakeholder engagement cycle to map, prioritise and plan with purpose
  • Build relationships that support trust, learning and long-term outcomes


Who this course is for

Anyone working with internal or external stakeholders as part of their role. No prior stakeholder engagement training is required.

Laurna designs and delivers practical learning that strengthens judgment, lifts trust and improves how people work with others. She is known for translating complex issues into clear, usable tools and for creating learning spaces where people can think, test ideas, and leave with actions they can apply immediately.
