Influencing for Results:
Influence others effectively to get things done.
Pressure in the workplace often makes it difficult to get things done. Influencing people to "buy-in" to your ideas and projects is challenging, especially when you have no formal authority. Challenges can stem from poor communication, lack of support, distrust and incompatible co-workers.
What we've learned is that there are people who are able to get things done in the face of all these challenges. They are able to implement ideas and finish projects through supportive relationships and effective communication.
Learn practical influence skills that will increase effective communication, build trust and alignment, and enhance relationships.
Why Influencing for Results?
Today you can attend 1-day workshops which are lecture-based and inexpensive. They motivate you, but to do what? What do you really walk away with? LMA has taught thousands of people how to influence in programs ranging from one day to five days long and we have been doing this for 25 years!
We have designed a 1-day workshop which teaches you the skills through minimal lecture and maximum time spent in exercises. You even spend time planning for and practicing a critical on-the-job situation.
