An ability to influence others and gain support for your ideas is an essential element to sustained success in every position. This applies whether you’re dealing with co-workers, managers, executives, or direct reports. Organizational structures are increasingly flatter and value chains from customers to suppliers are longer and more connected.
As a result, influencing others where you have no direct control or authority has become a vital skill…one that often goes undeveloped. This lack of skill often leads to a “whoever shouts the loudest” approach at one end of the spectrum, to a reluctance to engage at the other. With either approach, the results are less than optimal.
Influencing with Impact™ gives individuals another choice, a proven approach that is based on timeless principles and documented results. Workshop attendees learn how to go beyond limited techniques and tactics taught in similar courses to a strategic approach.
Following this workshop, attendees will discover new abilities to:
• Build trust and credibility within their organization
• Identify and apply core principles of influence
• Develop a personal strategy for influencing others
• Use “stacking” to increase their chances of success
• Build and leverage personal networks
Improving one individual’s ability to influence others can produce significant results. Imagine what can be achieved when this ability is enhanced in multiple individuals in a variety of roles inside your organization.
