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.
