Strategies for Leveraging Your Impact to Be a Positive, Powerful, and Authentic Leader
- Maximize your impact to influence effectively and drive results
- Use practical actions and models to take control of your impact starting today
- Learn to successfully lead change
What impact are you having on the people and world around you? Everyone is a leader as leadership is the act and art of influencing others. Thinking, acting, and behaving as a leader isn’t just a requirement for those in official leadership positions—everyone can benefit from having greater impact. True leaders authentically fine-tune their actions and behaviors to the situation they are in and the people they are with. In this live training, international leadership and cultural change strategists Mandy Flint and Elisabet Vinberg Hearn explore the concept of leadership impact. Learn how you can take control of your impact to effectively build trust, loyalty, and inspire your team.
This training starts by exploring “What is leadership impact and why it is important?” It then moves into how you can have an impact with the audiences around you—employees, peers, bosses, the board, and other stakeholders. And, finally, it addresses how to work through change as a leader.
