Conference Description:

The ability to influence others without relying on formal authority – whether you have it or not – is within your reach, but first you must understand what influence really is and commit to doing what is necessary to cultivate it.

Professionals at every level can benefit from mastering the art of influencing people over whom they do not hold any direct power or decision making authority, whether or not they hold supervisory positions.

If you are in a leadership position, you are more likely to be viewed as an effective leader if you are influential rather than having to rely on the formal authority of your position to get results.
When you don’t have formal authority, being influential allows you to become an informal leader and helps set the stage for career advancement.
