To be successful in busy cross-functional, matrixed, or other complex organizations, you need to be skillful and flexible in the way you influence others. A strong set of influence skills will enable you and your team to build the relationships necessary to achieve positive results with colleagues, customers, suppliers and others, regardless of your position, by moving your ideas into action– stimulating others to support, allow, provide resources for, or participate actively in your initiatives.
In these micro-learning modules, you will be introduced to a set of concepts and tools that will prepare you to participate in a live session. In that session, you will practice skills and receive feedback that will help you develop strength, focus, and flexibility as an influencer. Exercising Influence® provides you with valuable insights into your current skills and growth potential through assessments, engaging experiential exercises, peer and instructor feedback, and post-program support tools.
