Increase Your Influence Competency!
All of our programs are based on the competencies required of outstanding leadership for any individual. Before this webinar begins, leaders rate themselves on the influence assessment's 5-point scale in each of the 3 core content areas. Influence Matters is designed to increase both knowledge and competency by at least 1 point in at least 1 skill area in each of those 3 mastery areas as judged by the participant and, if she chooses, one or two people she has asked to observe her throughout the series. Then, as the leader moves along through the program, she can measure how much more skillfully she's influencing!
5, 90-Minute Live Instructor-led Interactive Webinars
Get the feel of being in a live room! We use Cisco's WebEx advanced training webinar tool. The presenter is "live" on screen as are any materials that are being discussed in the moment. Participants can be put into small break out groups at any time during the webinar to discuss cases and content, then come back to the large group and report out. The presenter can "visit" each of these "rooms" just as if everyone was in a live presentation. Participants can be unmuted for the main call discussions as well for live Q&A. Leaders can be in any part of the world and feel like they're all in the same room. The webinar leader combines short presentations with in-depth group discussion of application of the learning from content and cases, with interactive exercises, and discussion of application to the leaders' influence situations.
31 Self-Paced e-Learning Modules
Learn how to be a top-notch influencer in just 10 minutes a day! Our 31 self-paced e-learning video modules jump start the leader's real-time application of her influence skills and is a big value-add to the live webinar sessions. With our e-learning, the leader learns when she chooses, for however long she wants, and at a time that fits with her busy work schedule.
How that's done: In between each webinar session, leaders link to our site for the e-learning modules. In each e-learning session, an expert coach and facilitator takes leaders through the 31 short video tracks that bring each of the program days' content to life. And added to that, each of the 31 days has downloadable program materials, cases, checklists and, if applicable, 1 or 2 electronic worksheets. And, the leader can jump ahead if a specific influence challenge comes up where the content in a future module would be best viewed and applied in the moment.
What You'll Learn
The 3 skill mastery areas: Master Your Plan, Master Your Delivery, and Master YourSelf fully equip the leader for any influence situation. And although they follow in a specific order, leaders can jump ahead at any time when an influence situation calls for it.

Peer Consulting
Learn with a peer or two. Leaders meet in pairs or trios 2 or 3 times over the course of the webinar series for about an hour by phone (or in person if they're in the same location) to talk about application to their own situations. Leaders find these peer meetings to be invaluable.
Cases
We supplement the learning throughout the program with case studies of real situations
