121 Gaining Influence as a Learning Leader

11:00 AM - 11:45 AM Wednesday, February 24

The ability to influence stakeholders and other organizational leaders is critical to the success of learning leaders. But how exactly do we accomplish that? Depending on the company and the structure, learning and development is often ‘invisible’. What does influence look like in practice?

In this session you will discover three specific influence techniques that work. You will go beyond wishful thinking about learning cultures and “earning a seat at the table” as we focus on the tactical side of operating at a strategic level. By attending this session you will gain valuable options that you can adapt and turn into your own strategy to take forward.
