Overview
Do you get what you want at work? Do you feel like you have exhausted every possible option to get your team or your boss to listen to your ideas? Sometimes it feels like no matter what you do they will never listen. The key to getting work done is through political and collaborative skills: influencing without authority. How do you get the cooperation of those that you have no authority over? In this workshop we won’t just talk about the science of influencing without authority – we will discuss practical every day application. Bob the BA will share his insider’s guide to influence and how to move the mountain closer to your goals. You will learn powerful concepts, techniques, approaches and models to cut through the barriers and develop stronger relationships so you can do the right thing for the project, the people and the organization.
Approach
Our goal at Bob the BA is to help you think, learn and work differently so you can make an impact back on the job. If you always do what you have always done, you will end up right where you were before you were trained right? So at Bob the BA we take a different approach because we know we learn best by doing and not through lecture. Our courses are always hands-on, practicing through exercises, activities, facilitated discussions, case studies, role play, workshops, printed materials and presentations.
