How to Build Buy-In 1-Day Workshop
Build Buy-In for your Ideas
This one-day Buy-In Training class provides you with the methodology, knowledge and skills you need to to gain support from a small team, large group, or from an entire organization. You will learn to apply the same communications tools used by our most successful leaders, politicians, business executives, advocates and change-agents.
However, this workshop, unlike others, does not assume that participants are gifted communicators. Nor does How to Build Buy-in assume that you have a staff to create compelling graphic presentations or time for endless coaching. But, by the end of the day you will have crafted a strategic story you can use to get buy-in.
This class is designed for busy professionals in fields other than interpersonal communications. How to Build Buy-in shows you how to genuinely connect with people in a way that does not rely on charisma or finely tuned speaking skills. Rather, How to Build Buy-in taps into relationships, credibility and rules of human nature available to most professionals.
- You will learn:
- The steps to gaining buy-in
- How to create a compelling story of a positive future that your people will want to support
- How to overcome the inertia of the current state
- How to get people, teams and groups to invest their energy into moving your plan forward
- Who Should Attend?
- Senior executives seeking active support for management initiatives.
- Engineers, technical or operational managers, and chief administrators who are responsible for the success of an initiative.
- Leaders asking for short-term sacrifice and promising long-term gain.
- Anyone who needs support from diverse stakeholders, many of whom owe no particular allegiance to the leader.
