The Power to Change Anything

We all want to be influencers. In this fast-paced and inspiring presentation based on the New York Times bestseller, Influencer: The Power to Change Anything, you will learn to create rapid and sustainable change. Journey from San Francisco to Thailand and meet influence masters who have made change not only achievable and sustainable, but inevitable.
You’ll find out why some managers have increased productivity repeatedly and significantly—while others have failed miserably. In short, you’ll discover how to:

• Motivate yourself and others to do things you don’t feel like doing
• Rapidly master new skills to achieve greater results
• Harness the power of peer pressure to accelerate change
• Quickly amass the social influence to change the behavior of hundreds or thousands of people
• Use the invisible and constant power of the environment to make change the path of least resistance

The most important capacity you can hold is the capacity to influence behavior. Once you tap into the power of influence, you can begin to solve the problems you care about most—from the simplest to the most persistent, resistant, and profound challenges you can imagine.

Discover the Six Sources of Influence
One of the most common mistakes people make in identifying the root of a problem is assuming there is only one cause. We also commonly assume there is only one solution. VitalSmarts research reveals that people who employ four or more personal, social, or structural influence strategies are ten times more likely to achieve desired outcomes than those who use only one or two.

Influencer Training can help you:
• Successfully lead change initiatives.
• Transform corporate culture.
• Improve compliance with safety regulations.
• Become empowered to solve problems within your team.
• Learn to diagnose the real causes behind problems and create real solutions.
• Learn to influence across the organization with or without formal authority.

Who Should Participate?
Influencer Training is ideal for individuals, teams, and organizations looking to overcome profound, persistent, and resistant problems in their organization, team, or personal life. The training provides individuals at any level of an organization with the skills to develop an effective and comprehensive influence strategy to overcome these problems.

What to Expect from Influencer Training
Influencer Training is a fifteen-hour course that uses a combination of live training, compelling videos, and highly useful tools. Engage in extensive in-class practice, group participation, and personal planning as you learn and develop the strategies for resolving tough issues. Learn how to:
• Diagnose the web of causes behind any problem and create powerful strategies for driving change.
• Identify a handful of high-leverage behaviors that, if changed, will lead to desired results.
