Influence is part of everyday work… whether you’re aligning across teams, gaining buy-in for an idea, or moving work forward without formal decision-making power. Yet many professionals feel stuck when authority doesn’t sit with them, unsure how to create momentum without overstepping or disengaging.

Influencing without authority isn’t about persuasion tactics or positional power. It’s about understanding people, navigating dynamics, and choosing intentional strategies that build credibility and trust over time.

In this practical, engaging session, we’ll explore how influence really works inside organizations, and what gets in the way when it doesn’t. You’ll learn concrete tools for communicating with clarity, navigating resistance, and increasing your impact across roles and hierarchies. Whether you’re leading laterally, upward, or across functions, this session offers a smarter, more effective way to move ideas forward without relying on a title.
