Become a more influential communicator
January 6, 2020 •
Research reveals that one of the most valuable (but least known) leadership competencies is inquiry skills: The knowledge to use the right questions at the right moment.
In this workshop facilitated by LifeLabs Learning — the go-to leadership training resource for innovative companies like Lyft, TED, Reddit, Sony Music and Warby Parker — you’ll learn to instinctively word questions in ways that earn influence, resolve problems and motivate people to act.
Key course concepts include:
- Learning to earn influence
- Improving collaboration
- Building relationships by adjusting how you communicate
To get the most out of this course, consider and be prepared to share areas at work in which you’d like to demonstrate more influence.
