Professional influence online training: Increase your impact and leadership in the workplace
Influencing is part of everyday work life — whether you're pitching an idea, rallying a team, gaining support, or persuading a tough audience. But how do you do it without being manipulative, without losing your voice, and without coming on too strong?
Influencing isn’t about control or pressure. It’s about having a thoughtful, intentional, and respectful impact. To influence effectively, you first need to understand your natural style, your key drivers, and how to adapt to the person you're trying to reach.
This interactive training will help you clarify your influencing goals, adjust your approach, and use a variety of tactics to build lasting buy-in — all while staying ethical, human, and impactful. Because influencing without manipulation starts with choosing how you connect, and then acting with clarity and consistency.
By exploring the various sections of this training, you will be able to:
- Adopt an ethical stance on influence.
- Adjust your influence style.
- Activate your influence strategies and tactics with agility.
