Leadership Influencing Skills workshop

If missing deadlines is affecting your bottom line, then Leadership Influencing Skills is a seminar that will pinpoint and solve specific problems which will improve your results from others, while building UP trust and respect.

Leadership Influencing Skills can be used the very next day to improve productivity, increase motivation and get better performance results...from the people who matter to your success - subordinates, bosses, peers, suppliers, even customers!

Here is what you get from Leadership Influencing Skills:

• Three leadership principles that build trust (there is no influence without trust)
• Four leadership influencing techniques (specific ways to influence behavior change)
• One personalized action plan (to solve  your own real-world people challenges)

Overcome these costly & aggravating people challenges:

• Pacifying the bulldozer.  Some people just want you to do it their way and they won't quit until you give in.  Learn this technique that will leave them feeling respected, without giving in to their way, and get new ways implemented more quickly.
   
• You don't want to nitpick but their work quality just doesn't cut it.  What do you do when people keep coming to you with below standard work?  Do it for them?  Get mad at them?  This technique will teach you how to raise standards without raising your blood pressure.
   
• They know how, they just keep "forgetting" to do it!  This is a classic adrenaline shooter!  They know what you want.  They know how to do it.  They just can't be bothered.  You'll learn a whole new way to overcome this one, and stop the daily drip of lost productivity and quality.
   
• They say they'll do it, then don't.  Nothing is more frustrating than people who don't deliver.  You can do something about this one, when you learn this gutsy technique. 
   
• Your own personal action plan.  You will identify a person you want to influence, and develop a specific action plan to build trust and influence how they perform, and the way in which they achieve key business goals.

Here's the kicker!

Every participant will learn four 30 second techniques that get leaders in a "leadership state of mind" to execute these influencing techniques in a way that lowers defenses, opens people up and gets differences on the table quickly and effectively.

Learn the basic foundation that every Leader needs:  How to be calm, cool and centered - ready to adapt to any situation or reaction as it arises as you deal confidently with people difficulties.  It's so powerful that many top athletes and stars like Tiger Woods and Nicolas Cage use this principle as the foundation for their excellence.
