Influencer™ Training Overview

Influencer™ Training provides proven strategies for successfully uprooting entrenched habits, driving sustained improvement, and executing change initiatives.

In spite of the fact that we're routinely trying to help ourselves and others alter behavior, few of us can articulate a model of what it takes to do so. It's time this changed. By drawing from the skills of many of the world's best change agents and combining them with five decades of social-science research, Influencer™ Training creates a powerful and portable model for changing behaviors-a model that anyone can learn and apply.

• Successfully lead change initiatives.
• Transform corporate culture.
• Improve compliance with safety regulations.
• Become empowered to solve problems within your team.

Discover the Six Sources of Influence
One of the most common mistakes people make in identifying the root of a problem is assuming there is only one cause. We also commonly assume there is only one solution. VitalSmarts research reveals that people who employ four or more personal, social, or structural influence strategies are ten times more likely to achieve desired outcomes than those who use only one or two.

Access Ongoing Support
Participants will be provided with post-training online resources to stimulate life-long learning and skill development. These resources, including videos, training aids, and learning forums, provide ongoing support and teach additional details about key concepts.
