Influence

The ability to have an important effect on someone or something

Sales people, leaders, accountants, HR professionals, you name it. Every single role has one important thing in common, we all need to influence every day to get our jobs done. You attempt to influence others to buy your product, to invest in your company, to work on your project, abide by your process... to make a choice to get on board with you, or not. We can ALL benefit from improving our ability to influence. But how?

Program Approach

Deep practice, quick results

  • 4 small-group, LIVE sessions

    This is a multi-session interactive virtual online program. Each live session will be 60-90 minutes. All you'll need is a device with a camera, speakers, a microphone and a quiet space whenever the program is in session.

  • Try it & Apply it!

    Get work done as you learn through a handful of development assignments, to be completed on your own time. You will be provided access to the recorded live sessions and a Presentation Planner Playbook to reference as often as you'd like!

  • 1:1 Coaching

    Let's talk about you, your content and your delivery. At the midpoint of the program, you will be scheduled for a 30 minute coaching session, with either Holly or Sara, and receive a personalized FeedForward Coaching Plan.
