Accelerate Your Influence

This module goes directly to the top of The Pyramid to demonstrate the practical value of increasing your influence in your organization, community and industry. For consultants, influence is the critical success factor that determines how much work you will have and how well you will do that work. The same activities and level of awareness are necessary for employees in support roles in any corporation. In order for you to participate in the strategic decision-making process, your internal customers have to listen to you and trust you.
Unlike the others, this module is not completed as a group, though the workgroup arrangement is encouraged to allow players to brainstorm together and assist one another with the exercises.
Participants will learn the Four Types of Influence, determine which type is most comfortable for them, and formulate an action plan, based on their personal position and abilities, for expanding their influence.
This module is highly effective for consulting teams that do not routinely find additional opportunities for themselves or the organization. It is valuable for any group that wants to break down the barriers between departments or teams and provide better value to the corporation.

What Consultants Have Said...
"Before I joined up with Consulting Stance, I had one client and was billing $60/hour. Now I have three clients at $200/hour, plus I get an extra bonus when my work makes money for them. I'm thinking of taking three months off next year. I could never have done that on my own."
--- Doug, Independent Engineering Consultant/Austin, TX
"Consulting on your own compares with working in larger organizations as an employee. The possibility, however, of hearing direct appreciation from your clients and the thrill of obtaining repeat business can be monumentally different."
--- Kevin L./Austin, TX
"The classes are fun, interactive and extremely valuable. Trial-and-error is the most expensive way to learn and I can't imagine anyone starting out in this business without your help."
--- Denise, Independent Oracle Consultant/Austin, TX
