Wouldn’t your job be so much easier if you could simply tell people what you want and immediately get it? Or if people automatically see things your way without pushback or objections. Unfortunately, life doesn’t usually happen this way.

Influencing people at work is easier said than done, especially when the stakes are high. Like getting a key stakeholder to support your initiative, or making the case for more resources, or your promotion.

This is why it’s vital to know how to use influence to achieve the results you want.

When you use your influence, others are more likely to embrace your ideas and choose to put them into action. As a result, you accomplish more for yourself and your organization, and enjoy a more rewarding career with less stress.

The good news is you don’t need to be in a position of authority to have influence. You have the power of influence, no matter your role.

In this Career Mastery Live, you’ll discover your unique sources of influence and how to apply them to achieve your goals.

  • What influence really is (hint: it’s not about “selling” your ideas)
  • The two settings at work when you need influence the most
  • How to identify the assets you have that give you influence
  • How and when to use influence to achieve your goals
