Influencing Without Authority

Influence isn't about having the most authority. It's about earning trust, creating alignment, and helping people move toward a shared outcome. Whether you're leading a team, partnering across functions, or working with senior stakeholders, your ability to influence often determines whether great ideas become meaningful results. This workshop will introduce practical approaches for building influence, strengthening credibility, and gaining support without relying on your title or position. What You'll Learn: * The foundations of influence beyond formal authority * Why people resist ideas (and how to respond) * Practical strategies for building trust and alignment * Ways to increase your impact in meetings & conversations Note: Zoom access information will be available on the Meetup event page after you RSVP "Yes."
