EXECUTIVE INFLUENCE

Great leadership is built on our ability to influence others to accept and execute on our ideas.  However, most leaders get stuck using the same influencing tactics over and over. They fail to develop a toolbox of versatile influencing techniques needed to persuade varied audiences.  Executive Influence focuses on nine key influencing tactics and challenges leaders to combine those tactics into a layered strategy that will move audiences and make real impact within their organization. 

Workshop Curriculum
​VIRTUAL  |  12 PARTICIPANT MAXIMUM  |  TWO MODULES​

By the end of this workshop, leaders will:
  • Know the difference between influence, persuasion, manipulation and negotiation
  • Feel increased confidence in the preparation process for persuading audiences of all sizes
  • Master powerful influence tactics to move even the toughest of audiences toward their preferred outcome
  • Create a layered influencing strategy to ask for something they really want at work
  • Practice asserting effectively and standing their ground

"When I reached out to Axe & Arrow I was looking for a way to bring my newly formed team together. Our Axe & Arrow consultant met with myself, key stakeholders and all the members of the team before putting together the "teaming" off-site program.  Axe & Arrow implemented a 2-day event that allowed the team to get beyond the surface, dig into individual strengths and weaknesses, provide feedback where needed and set up a collective mission.  The entire experience brought the team closer together and fast tracked our path to peak performance.  If you are looking for a way to pull your team together, I highly recommend Axe & Arrow as your partner."

"We needed to reset our culture. Axe & Arrow's process helped us define cultural norms and break down silos.  Our teamwork accelerated, and the company found its true 'North Star' that unleashed the full potential of the business. I am happy to report that a year later the culture and team are collaborating like never before, and the business results are stronger than ever."
