Influencing Senior Stakeholders-23930

Imagine you’ve just been asked to present your latest project or idea to the executive team. It might be next month; it might be next week; it might be... tomorrow. After your initial reaction subsides (panic? excitement?), what will you do to prepare? During Influencing Senior Stakeholders, you’ll discover mindsets and techniques to help you stand out in front of any senior internal or external audience, persuade them to take action, and handle challenging questions and objections. You’ll leave prepared to speak up more and confidently communicate to audiences of any seniority level at any time.

Behavioral Outcomes:

• Reframe your mindset to recognize why you are the right person to speak up
• Focus on the headline first to create a powerful and concise presentation or pitch
• Structure your presentation to drive your desired outcome: a second meeting, demo, decision, etc.
• People like their own ideas best. Increase buy-in for your idea or proposal by giving your audience options
• Ask a follow-up question or flip the question to drive deeper understanding when you receive an objection or challenging question
• Validate objections to demonstrate empathy and build trust before you pivot to your solutions

What You Will Need:

• A computer with Zoom.us video conferencing software installed. Install for free here: https://zoom.us/download
• Zoom virtual meeting link will be shared on a separate Online Event Page after you register.

What Makes Our Virtual Training Different:

Our virtual trainings are live and highly interactive. You’ll always be answering a question, discussing with a partner in zoom breakout rooms, practicing individually or with a group, or giving and receiving feedback. Passive participation is not an option!
