Influencing leaders

“

- My mother used to say that it would be wonderful if every newborn came with a parent's guide to their own child. So think about it. This guide would clearly explain the child's preferences, how to interpret all their nonverbal cues, how to speak so that they'd understand you in those difficult moments. Yes, a parent's guide to their own child would be wonderful. There's also been quite a few times where as a leader in a boardroom, I've been struck by the idea wouldn't it be great if your senior leadership team came with a how to decode and influence your executive guide. This course will help you decipher and influence your executive. I'm going to coach you through interpreting what they mean and what actions you should take as you build your own guide. As we decode your executives, you'll learn strategies to effectively influence this person, how much small talk to have with them before getting into the business discussion, how to read their nonverbal cues and expressions, and how much information they need from you before making a decision. I'm Susan Kushnir and I'm thrilled to be your host for this series. I've been in senior leadership roles for several Fortune 100 companies and nonprofits, as well as being a certified coach. Let's get started.
