When you are in a position of formal authority at work, it’s relatively easy to influence others. But what if you aren’t? You still have to persuade colleagues to support your ideas and work collaboratively with you. In addition, having influence means you’re more likely to be noticed, respected, and rewarded. That’s why strengthening your influence skills is so important, no matter what your line of work. As noted author Ken Blanchard famously said, “The key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority.”
In this program, you’ll learn how to increase your ability to influence the right way, i.e. through building trust and exhibiting competence rather than imposing force. More specifically, you’ll learn how to be clear and concise in both your written and spoken communication, why offering recognition and appreciation positively impacts your ability to influence, and how to embellish your executive presence so you look and sound your best. Whether you’re a new leader just starting out or an experienced leader who wants to enhance your power to persuade, you’ll come away with actionable ideas that will make an immediate difference.
