Responsibility without Authority: Influencing Change

Speaker: Kurt Swenson

Time: Friday, Sept 15, 1-3pm

PDUs: Power Skills - 1, Business Acumen - 1

Description: There’s nothing more frustrating than having the responsibility to implement and manage an organizational change while feeling like you have no positional authority to influence outcomes and behaviors. The focus of most projects seems to be gaining “buy-in” and “selling” ideas rather than deploying meaningful influence and strategic change strategies. In this two-hour session, the audience will re-examine how they conceptualize change management, using proven influence tactics that are tied to the psychological needs of the very people you need to influence. In this session, participants will:

Explore the human psychological factors of change and transition.
Assess adoption trends to influence resistance and complacency.
Navigate the “Change Curve” using 3 simple strategies.
Examine the unconscious and conscious aspect of persuasion.
Deploy the P.U.R.E. Influence Model® to diagnose the underlying fears that interfere with agreement, consensus, and commitment.

Culture Is Key

Speaker: Mark Willmarth

Time: Saturday, Sept 16, 10-11am

PDUs: Business Acumen - 1

Description: Every organization has a culture. It either creates itself or you create it. If you want to know your culture, ask any new employee “How do things work around here?” They have likely asked that question and learned what is acceptable and what is not acceptable, regardless of what is posted on your wall! How do we create the culture we want? Learn how to define your culture and then drive that throughout the rest of the organization. Using examples from other organizations, we will discuss and explore what that can look like for you.

We will discuss the fallacy of the “difficult person” and learn to appreciate how different perspectives help us make better decisions. Participants will have an opportunity to discuss how to communicate and work more effectively with different types of people.

Your inner winner is that voice inside you that tells you to push yourself further, to never give up, and always strive for the gold medal. Your inner winner is the part of you that believes in your abilities and trusts that you can achieve any goal.

When you unleash the winner within you, you become unstoppable. You believe in a vision and inspire others to do the same. You become a role model, a mentor, and a coach for those around you. You lead by example, creating an Olympic-level culture.

Enhance your creative potential by overcoming psychological obstacles and perplexing barriers that prevent you from Olympic-level leadership.

Identify and focus clearly on your priorities to eradicate wasted time and effort.
Understand the strategies and habits of Olympic-minded leaders that cultivate more wins.
