Projects are the mechanism to realize business strategy, create competitive advantage and achieve organizational transformation.

Important stuff, but most often, projects are being done in addition to ongoing business operations with constrained resources.

Therefore success is dependent on getting the right resources, spending your budget wisely, and keeping people focused and motivated to execute.

Warning signs that a project is headed to failure include missed deadlines, confusion, conflict and churning. All this can contribute to project manager and team burnout.

Effective project managers look for these early warning signs of failure and burnout so they can take corrective actions, but more importantly, they proactively work to avoid them.

In this webinar you will learn tips and techniques to:

• Cultivate a healthy environment for your project, your team, and yourself
• Create best practices you can rely on to drive the project forward
• Leverage relationships to support and motivate

Powerful Persuasion Strategies
Not Found In Robert Cialdini’s Book INFLUENCE

Robert Cialdini’s legendary book, INFLUENCE, was published 39 years ago.

The world has drastically changed since 1984, yet Dr. Cialdini’s persuasion principles have held firm because they are rooted in un-changing human psychology.

Marketers, consultants, C-level decision-makers, training specialists, negotiators, and experts in Sales, Communication and HR who master Cialdini’s principles invariably:

• Become better leaders
• Get far more YES answers to requests
• Close more deals and make more sales
• Successfully persuade others to support them, and
• Become more successful professionals

Yet even those familiar with Cialdini’s influence principles are likely unaware of the most recent methods, frameworks and findings, such as:

• The Smuggler’s quadrants
• The 5-steps to identifying your own Influence strengths
• ETHICAL Influence: The Weapon vs. Lever approach
• Unity: the most powerful principle
• The unfortunate mistake everyone makes with Social Proof

Join Dr. Matthew Champagne, Ph.D (LinkedIn profile) , the #1 most experienced Cialdini Certified Professional, as he explains these ideas for the first time, and illustrates how to guarantee more YES from your customers, prospects, students, colleagues and decision-makers.

Don’t miss this opportunity: ETHICAL PERSUASION is a top-5 in-demand power skill in today’s workplace. Those who apply these “secrets” of persuasion will gain a clear and insurmountable business advantage.

Back by popular demand! Our special guest; Tony Parinello, (LinkedIn profile) author and creator of Selling to VITO, the Very Important Top Officer!

Tony, is a Wall Street Journal best-selling author who has personally trained well over 2.5 million salespeople and the majority of the F-1000 to create bigger sales and commission checks while drastically cutting sales cycle times.

During this unique web-event Tony will teach you his proven, sustainable process to master the four languages necessary to effectively Sell to VITO and everyone else in VITO’s organization that will influence the outcome of your sale!

Carefully ponder the following three questions:

1. What would happen if you could illustrate any Organization-Chart for any prospect or customer without ever asking for one…then…
2. What would happen if you could  superimpose the names and titles of each individual you’re going to come in contact with throughout your entire sales process…then…
3. What would happen if you could superimpose the precise language and talk-tracks necessary to capture each individual’s interest and earn their business…

Here’s exactly what would happen…

• You would stop losing sales that you thought you were going to win
• You would free-up every ‘stalled’ sale in your sales pipeline
• You would shorten your sales process
• You would most likely crush your yearly sales quota before you get halfway into your third quarter…

The ability to think both creatively and critically is an invaluable skill set at the heart of effective problem-solving.

While at first glance creating and critiquing may seem like opposites, they are in fact deeply connected… and part of an ongoing generative cycle.

To solve challenging problems, we need to explore them holistically — to unleash our imaginations while also applying structure and discipline to our thought processes.

Topics Christa will cover in this webinar include:

• The intimate connection between critical thinking and creative thinking
• The importance of defining the right problem
• Common cognitive biases that can diminish innovation
• The difference between brainstorming and “brain swarming”
