Breakfast Masterclass: Leadership in Action

How to get your expertise heard, your recommendations taken seriously and your ideas acted on, even when you don’t have the authority to make it happen.


Are you tired of repeating yourself, struggling to get buy-in or watching good recommendations go nowhere?You’ve got the expertise. You’ve done the analysis. You know your recommendations make sense. But getting others to listen, agree and take action? That’s a whole other battle.

And it’s particularly challenging when you’re leading a technical team, managing risk, overseeing workplace safety or advising senior decision-makers.
Because being an expert and being influential are two very different things.

Join Lisa Harrison, Leadership Development Expert from The Learning Pyramid, as she unpacks the three critical factors behind effective influence. Discover what makes people more likely to listen to your advice, trust your judgment and get behind your recommendations, even when you don’t have the authority to make things happen.

  3. The Buy-In Decoder — Why One Message Doesn’t Influence Everyone
    Explore how different personality styles influence what people need to hear to gain their agreement and support.
