How to manage up with influence (even if you lack authority)

 

⏰ Friday, September 26th, 10:30AM - 12:00PM CST 

(Recording included)

 

80,000 hours. That's how much time you'll spend working in your lifetime. A huge chunk of those hours will be spent working with your boss. Your relationship with your boss will determine if you get recognized, promoted, or overlooked. And yet most employees leave this relationship entirely to chance.

They treat their 1:1s like just another meeting instead of the most important 30 minutes on their calendar. They want to know what their boss thinks of them but never ask. They keep saying yes when they should be saying no.

I've seen talented leaders get passed over for promotions, burn out from unnecessary friction, and quietly quit on jobs they once loved, all because nobody taught them how to manage the most important relationship at work.

I don't want you to make that mistake.

In this 90-minute workshop, you'll learn how to turn a difficult relationship into a decent one, and a good relationship into a great one.

You'll walk away with the frameworks, scripts, and confidence to build real credibility with your manager and become the person they turn to first.

  • Learn to identify your managers most pressing priorities and align your team with their priorities.

4) Learn communication secrets of elite executives and use these tactics to manage your stakeholders.

  • Use the i4 framework to share very difficult news with influence and confidence

5) (Finally) give and get constructive feedback to your manager with confidence (and without the awkwardness)

  • Learn to finally give constructive feedback to your manager with confidence (instead of suffering in silence)
  • Learn to 'extract' constructive feedback from your manager even if your manager never gives you feedback.

Thanks again for delivering a couple of terrific sessions. I commend you for your in-depth and insightful content. I really appreciate your engaging and comfortable style in presenting the material. You went beyond the surface-level, sometime pedestrian material in the realm of feedback. I’m confident our leaders were able to gain some wisdom, perhaps even a different perspective in the art of giving and receiving feedback.

Murray K. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Everything was very tactical and super relevant. I spend a good amount of my time in 1:1 meetings and I've been able to apply a lot of our lessons to create more impact and meaningful relationships with my direct reports. After trainings, I would frequently find myself immediately using Ali's techniques and recommendations in my next meeting.

Jill B. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have had several leadership training sessions, especially around feedback and difficult conversions. I think this is the best one I have attended on this topic. I really like Ali's style and how he goes through examples and breaks it down.

Suzie B ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I cannot even tell you how much I am getting out of these trainings. You are incredible at what you do and the perfect fit for this team. I am just so grateful that the internet gods somehow got our paths to cross."

Tom S ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

With 15 years of experience managing technology teams across businesses from start-ups to large companies such as Symantec I have experienced LOTS of approaches to management training. This training is by far the most high value and engaging experience I have ever had. Ali's ability to stay focused, engaged, and tie things together is exceptional, and like nothing I have experienced before. By far the most valuable training experience I have had in years.
