INFLUENCE:

A Key to Effective Leadership and Career Advancement

MARCH 5, 2026 | 9:30-11:00 AM

Today’s most effective leaders master more than the hard skills needed to manage an organization. They also leverage the soft skills, including influence, that can have great impact on a business’ success and their career.

Join us for our next virtual workshop that will focus on how to use influence in your professional journey. This skill can position you favorably across your entire career. You will learn how the focus on your influence will change from those who answer to you to those that might not, which can be paramount to your success.

WORKSHOP HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Understanding influence
  • Developing your influence through six principles
  • Influencing those that may not answer to you
  • Managing your manager

YOUR SPEAKER:

JOHN SPILLSON
Lean Business & Leadership Advisor, Michigan Manufacturing Technology Center (MMTC)
