Influencing IRL, with Louise Hedges

Influencing IRL, with Louise Hedges

“To sell well is to convince someone else to part with resources — not to deprive that person, but to leave him better off in the end.” — Daniel Pink, To Sell is Human
Personal Effectiveness
Wednesday 21 April
4:00pm5:30pmUK time

Pick up and practice smart approaches for more positive and purposeful influence on others — moving hearts and minds towards your point of view.

If you know you deserve to be heard, want to make a difference or change something — then actively working on your influencing skills is going to be important. And given the collaborative nature of work today, and the ever-elastic nature of our roles, our ability to get people on board with our ideas and 'take them with us' has never been more valued.

In this punchy, and practical session led by coach and commercial sales expert Louise Hedges, we'll reframe historically unhelpful views of influence (which have earned the idea a bad rap) and introduce a variety of ideas, tools and techniques for impactful, everyday influence on all of those around us — whether that's ensuring a client renews a partnership, bringing our boss around to our way of thinking or getting our kids in the bath on time.

Everything was really clearly worked through, and I got to define the areas where I have earned the right to be confident, which will really up my influencing impact.
