----------------------------------------------

Do these challenges sound familiar?

  • How can you get hundreds of end users to follow a simple security protocol?
  • How can you get Jean, the Operations VP, to talk to you before the initiative gathers momentum?
  • How can you get your desktop support staff to listen carefully to client needs?

Influencing others is arguably the biggest challenge leaders face. Most leaders routinely rely upon a small range of influence tactics, like communicating expectations, sending staff to trainings, reinforcing expectations in performance reviews. Unfortunately, these tactics are often over-used, misused or have limited impact. Luckily, leaders have a much wider range of promising influence options than they typically consider.

In this fast-paced workshop, we will:

  1. Challenge conventional thinking about influencing others
  2. Share a range of additional influence tactics for you to consider
  3. Provide a simple tool to work through your professional (and personal) influence challenges

We promise you will leave better armed for your next influence challenges!
