Overview of the webinar

Leadership upskilling is essential as businesses and organizations continue to transform into a more interconnected, interdependent, global workplace that that is also experiencing ongoing change. Because of these changes, leaders can no longer lead solely by the power of their authority or position. They need the personal power of influence - the ability to positively impact the actions, behaviors, opinions of, not just their direct reports, but also bosses, peers, executive management as well as key decision makers.

One of the most important determinants of leadership effectiveness is success in influencing key individuals as well as diverse groups of people both inside and outside your organization.  If your leaders and managers don’t have influence, they will have difficulty leading others to take action and implementing the goals and strategies of your organization.

Therefore, it is crucial that all your leaders - whatever their level - understand the range of influence techniques they can use, know when and how to use them, as well as build their personal power base so that they can play a greater role in impacting the organization’s success.

Leadership upskilling is a practical, hands-on webinar that will give participants new ways of looking at the dynamics of personal power, politics, persuasion, and influence during times of change. It will also sharpen their leadership abilities to establish credibility, build connections, maintain accountability and deepen engagement with their team and others that are vital for their success.

Why should you attend?

When was the last time you thought about how you influence others — how you change minds, shape opinions, move others to act? Perhaps you are a line manager or supervisor feeling frustrated because others are not supporting your ideas? Or a project manager trying to lead a cross-functional team that is going in different directions? Or new in your job wanting to learn how to become a better leader? Or realizing you must improve your influencing skills to advance your career?

Even with a solid foundation of personal credibility and competence, you as leaders and managers may fall short if you don’t understand the influence dynamics of power, politics, and persuasion. Whether you’re getting support for your recommendations or getting approval for expenditures beyond your budget or getting items onto the agenda for the next meeting, your ability to influence matters. 

That’s why it is so vitally important to have influencing skills as part of your professional portfolio. The ability to influence your boss, your peers, your staff, as well as key decision makers is an essential skill for leaders, managers and supervisors, whatever their level or position. 

Join this webinar to acquire a better understand of the range of influence techniques you can use, know when and how to use them as well as how to build your personal power base. Start, right now, upskilling your leadership, as well as your career, for the changing workplace!
