Influence Without Authority
Most of us rely on other people to achieve our professional goals. The challenge comes from having no formal authority over those individuals – we have to develop strategies to convince them to do what we need.
In this talk, you’ll learn and practice some practical strategies to strengthen your influence skills. You’ll discover:
- The personal and professional sources of power that make you influential.
- The importance of empathy in successful interactions with others.
- The things to say and do to encourage cooperation from others.
