Our ability as leaders and influencers to anticipate, navigate, and communicate our needs through change can impactI the people around us and the work we’re doing. And frankly, most of us would rather do none of those things! Which is why change can be one of the most disruptive forces at work today! But equipped with just a handful of practical tools, we can build our change muscles so that change feels less disruptive when it happens.

Now twice a Month! Music Bingo is Back!
Check the dates but it's pretty much the second Wednesday, and the 4th Thursday (a few off of that for conflicts, but you get the point.) more info...
We don’t have time to do things twice. We also don’t have time to repeat ourselves. So how do we get our messages through the first time?
When we’re concerned about the level of risk on a project, how do we get that through to the people who need to be prepared for delays or cost overruns?
When we need additional resources to resolve the issue at hand, how do we get the attention of those who have moved on to other priorities in the business
When the decisions that need to be made have lasting impacts on the health of the organization as a whole, not just the stakeholder who screams the loudest, how do we make sure all of the right people are involved and paying attention?
When we need input from everyone, not just the highest paid person’s opinion, how do we engage all and only the right people?
Influencing up has never been more challenging than it is right now, because there are so many competing demands for our attention!
Right now, you’ve already moved on to something else in your head. But come back…Because there’s real pain here, and a need for real solutions. And we can talk through some real solutions. Influencing up is an art and a bit of science. There are tools and techniques that help us. There are some charts and boxes and some proven processes we can follow.
This quick-hit, action packed webinar will give you a set of
Critical success factors for influencing up in any organization, of any size or scale or industry.
Three techniques to help you focus your own skill growth where you need it most.
Practical, easy to apply tips to help you improve your stakeholder interactions to influence up, starting now.

Steinbeck’s timeless novella Of Mice and Men becomes a superbly crafted opera of great beauty and power. George and Lennie are two migrant ranch workers who dream of owning an acre of land and a shack they can call their own. But George cannot guard Lennie, a childlike giant of a man with a love for soft things, from the bullying of the ranch boss and his flirtatious yet unhappy young wife. Steinbeck’s timeless story—in the hands of the Dean of American Opera, Carlisle Floyd—becomes a superbly crafted opera of great beauty and power.
Of Mice and Men is a Co-Production of Des Moines Metro Opera, Houston Grand Opera, Florida State University, and Lyric Opera of Kansas City.
