Influencing Skills for Project Managers

One of the constant challenges for those of us who lead teams and projects is influencing people around us. Whether it\u2019s a boss, our team, clients, or other stakeholders, we\u2019re often in situations where we\u2019re trying to influence an outcome, yet running into a brick wall while doing so.

In this episode, we continue a series of discussions we\u2019ve had over the years on the topic of influence. We\u2019re joined by Rene Rodriguez, author of a new book entitled Amplify Your Influence: Transform How You Communicate and Lead.

In this episode, Rene discusses what we often don\u2019t get right about influence. He shares a simple way to learn more about influence just by paying attention to the people around us. You'll get an understanding of how the brain can help us be more effective at persuading or others--and how ignoring it can get in the way. And relates ideas from his AMPLIFII process to give us a taste of how we can communicate more effectively while persuading those around us. I\u2019m looking forward to sharing this discussion with you!
