We'll equip you with the building blocks of genuine influence, from how you show up to how you motivate action in others.

Most people know when someone commands a room. Far fewer know how to do it themselves.

This workshop is built around a simple but powerful idea: influence isn't a single skill, it's a stack of them. Each layer depends on the one beneath it. We work through those layers in sequence, giving you the tools, the frameworks, and crucially the practice reps to actually use what you learn.

This session covers...

How you show up. Before you say a word, people are already forming impressions. We look at what actually drives perceptions of credibility and warmth, and give you concrete ways to strengthen both.
How to hold a room. There's solid science behind why attention drifts and when. You'll learn how to structure your communication around that reality, including what to do when focus starts to slip.
How to move people. Facts inform. Stories motivate. We look at a structured approach to persuasion through narrative, with practice built in so you leave with more than just a theory.

The session draws on research, real frameworks, and exercises borrowed from an unusual source: the world of professional improvisation. It's practical, interactive, and occasionally surprising.

This workshop pairs with our Negotiation session for teams who want to go further.

I thought the model for influence was amazing. The workshop provided a lot of actionable steps. Even the examples were very relatable; they were all things I can see happening in the workplace. I liked that the workshop was super interactive. This was an overall great learning experience with actionable steps that I can use right away and in my daily life to be more influential. The workshop is highly recommended.

If you have been in a setting where you do not know how to capture, maintain, or recover a conversation or meeting, this workshop will certainly help you. It is highly recommended. The storytelling activity was the most impactful part for me, and I found it great to learn how to properly recover from a derailed conversation without being rude and by being professional.

In this workshop you'll learn from facilitation experts to apply influence and negotiation practices and tactics in your everyday work. I liked the ample opportunity for breakout conversation. Breaking down the sample conversation in the negotiation segments was particularly insightful, as it brilliantly allowed us to apply what we learned in an analytical way.
