YOU LOBBED A GREAT IDEA.
IT LANDED WITH A THUD.
NOW WHAT?
5 Reasons technical professionals need Influence now
Have you ever been in a meeting and had an idea you wanted to share, but didn’t have the confidence or a way to get “in” to the conversation?
Are you often in a role where you have more responsibility than authority, and can’t get people to see things “your” way?
You might say you need better communication skills to have a more strategic way of making sure you get your ideas and opinions across.
REASON NO. 1
1. Competition
Competition is heating up everywhere – between countries, between companies, even within the company. You may be competing with your peers for promotions, choice assignments, face time with management.
As a tech or IT professional, you may find that you have more authority than responsibility. You’ll surely need Influence Skills to beat out the competition.

However, you say it, it’s INFLUENCE
And in the new business and work environment of right now, we’re all going to need more of it!
Neither WHAT you know (your technical or professional expertise) nor WHO you know (your network of contacts) will guarantee your success.
Your technical know-how can become obsolete with the next innovation, and even your network of carefully acquired contacts can vanish overnight with a surprise reorganization.
What will help? Portable Power (TM) Influence skills – a set of skills you can take with you anytime, anywhere you are in any organization. I call it “the technology of Influence”.
