Organizational Ambidexterity
Organizational dynamics and politics—we live our daily professional lives with these realities. How can we navigate these interactions and structures toward stronger success? This session provides an assessment and key components that facilitate and support your journey toward steering the waters of office politics into a positive, collaborative experience. Engage as an organizational diplomat who supports and leverage multiple stakeholder types toward more effective relationships and stand-out success!
Date: TBD
Time: 03:00 PM – 05:00 PM PT
Location: Virtual via Zoom
Collective Influence
Researchers at Harvard and Northwestern Universities demonstrate that managers who sent redundant messages accomplished requests faster. Multiple messages catalyze better outcomes from these individuals who leverage influence effectively. What if we build on this individual influence and reimagine methods to subtly nudge impact collaboratively as a group? In fact, some cultures focus more on collectivism than individualism, so how do we unlock these different dimensions for maximum mutual impact? Enter Collective Influence. This model and method features multimedia modes that engage several stakeholders strategically—all toward stronger influence. Join us to learn how to influence synergistically!
Date: TBD
Time: 03:00 PM – 05:00 PM PT

Visibility Vineyard
According to research, employees are 4.6 times as likely to give their best at work when their voices are heard.
Career and professional success require visibility. In fact, the root of “promotion” is “promote,” which entails cultivating visibility. This session features strategies to achieve this through the Visibility Vineyard, which opens opportunities for others to support and “promote” you. Join us to stand out in the workplace.

Time: 03:00 PM – 05:00 PM PT
