About This Event

Talent Development has never had more tools:

● Leadership programs

● Competency models

● Coaching

● Performance management

● Employee engagement surveys

● Succession planning

● Change initiatives

...yet many organizations still struggle to create lasting behavior change, and are not able to maximize performance. Organizations are rife with opportunities for leveraging influence to make business-critical initiatives more successful, more quickly.                                                           

Most likely, the challenges faced by your organization are not knowledge problems; they are influence problems.  

You don't need another initiative - you need people who know how to influence more effectively within the programs you already have in place. 

★ Learn the influence framework that shifts behavior and facilitates buy-in for change.

★ Understand the science of how people think, so that you can leverage it to reduce change resistance and build forward momentum.

★ Learn a practical model that you can use immediately to build trust and improve influence.
