Influence Skills for HR Workshop

Build The Influence Skills That Turn Recommendations Into Results

HR professionals like you play a significant role in your organization’s success. You have great ideas, valuable insights, and data that can improve business decisions. But even the strongest recommendations fall short if they can't gain support from the people who need to act on them. Whether you're advocating for employees, influencing business leaders, or building support for a new HR initiative, your ability to communicate with impact directly affects your credibility and effectiveness. Different personalities, competing priorities, and organizational dynamics make influencing others one of the most important and challenging skills HR professionals need to develop.

The Influence Skills for HR Workshop is a highly interactive learning experience designed to help HR professionals communicate with confidence, gain stakeholder buy-in and make stronger business cases for their ideas through practical exercises, guided discussions, and real-world application. You'll learn how to clarify your message, understand the needs and motivations of your stakeholders, and adapt your communication style to influence different audiences. You'll receive feedback from peers and faculty while developing an action plan you can immediately apply to a real workplace challenge.
