Have you ever struggled to get someone on your team to take action? Or found yourself wondering how you’re supposed to influence someone when you don’t have formal authority? Getting others—and ourselves—to act isn’t simple. Influence is both an art and a science, and when we understand how it works, we can lead more effectively at every level of an organization.

In this session, we’ll dive into the research behind human motivation, behavior, and decision-making. We’ll explore frameworks that reveal what truly drives action, and we’ll look at practical strategies that help us influence others thoughtfully, strategically, and ethically. Through case studies, real-life examples, and guided discussion, you’ll analyze how influence shows up in your work and how you can use it to strengthen relationships and achieve meaningful results.

Participants will leave with actionable tools they can implement immediately, along with a more intentional mindset for navigating conversations, building alignment, and inspiring follow-through. This interactive experience blends research-based content with discussion, application, and Q&A—creating a space where employees at any level can build confidence in their ability to lead through influence.
