Maximizing Your Influence And Persuasion

Apply Powerful Techniques to Develop Effective Messages and Make Persuasive Arguments

The reach of formal authority is becoming even more limited in contemporary organizations, which are flatter, more cross-functional, and increasingly populated by generations who are less receptive to formal titles.

How much influence do people really have at work? How do they get colleagues, partners, and customers to pay attention to ideas? Is it possible to get things done without relying on formal authority?
How can people be more effective in influencing a diverse workforce, which is increasingly less responsive to formal authority?
How can people be more effective in influencing stakeholders beyond the organization: investors, customers, suppliers, distributors, partners, or competitors?

This course will allow learners to achieve leadership development in a way that is more effective, less expensive, and automatically leads to organizational improvement.
