Leap Before You Look! Four Times When It’s Best to Get Started Without Overthinking
The higher you are in the corporate hierarchy, the more people your decisions affect. But regardless of your position, too much meditation without action hurts the whole team, especially when others depend on your output as their input—for example, in
some software projects, or when your report, book, or manual must go through an editing process before management releases it to users. Such projects tend to be tightly scheduled, meaning you can’t spend too much time arranging your ducks before you pull the trigger. Sure, we all want everything to come out right the first time, but some changes are inevitable—no matter what you do. Let’s look at some cases when it’s often best to leap before you look.

This highly-interactive
program guides you to build your influence and high-profile presence. You’ll learn the three habits of influential leaders and discover how to apply them to your world, regardless of the conditions. As a result, even the most difficult people will trust your judgment, respect your opinions, and willingly commit to your strategies and ideas. You’ll discover how to: • Connect so that others are open to hearing your ideas, even if they disagree. • Convey even the most complex information simply, without dumbing it down. • Convince others to trust your judgment, so they willingly take action. • Send purposeful signals that align your intention with your impact. • Influence the narcissistic and passive-aggressive people in your life.
Can’t seem to earn the respect of decision makers when communicating new ideas and strategies, or when
pitching projects and recommendations? Frustrating, right? Unnecessary – yes! Too many otherwise capable leaders simply have not learned or don’t practice the processes proven to capture the imagination, attention and respect of decision makers. In this fast-paced, practical workshop, you’ll be armed with time-tested information, tools and techniques preparing you to not only “get what you want,” but to also “earn the right to be heard” by those with decision making authority.
