Course details
As AI handles more technical tasks, your ability to influence and persuade those above you sets you apart and future-proofs your career. In this course, award-winning author and speaker, Melody Wilding, teaches you how to navigate power dynamics and build stronger relationships with your boss and senior decision-makers using emotional intelligence strategies. You’ll implement five key conversations to manage up more effectively, including gaining alignment with your leadership on strategic priorities, push back when you're given extra work (without being disrespectful), and gain visibility for your and your team's accomplishments. Discover through practical tools and scripts how to secure buy-in for your ideas, deliver tough feedback to your boss, and work with difficult personalities such as micromanagers or highly critical leaders. This course equips you with the skills to lead upward during a time when human connection has become your biggest differentiator.
This course includes AI-powered Role Play. Role Play allows you to practice what you’ve learned in interactive simulations of real-world conversations.
