In today’s demanding and fast-moving organizations, project leaders rarely have the formal authority they need but are expected to align powerful stakeholders, secure decisions quickly, and keep everyone moving in the same direction. That requires influence, not just status reports. This highly practical webinar focuses on the psychology and practice of stakeholder influence. Participants will learn how to prepare for high stakes conversations, frame tradeoffs, and negotiate realistic expectations while maintaining trust. We will also look at how to build stakeholder networks over time, including techniques for virtual and global environments. Attendees will leave with tools they can apply immediately: a simple influence mapping approach, a conversation planning template, and specific tactics to gain and maintain stakeholder commitment in complex, politically sensitive settings.

What you will learn:

• Influence starts with stakeholder motivation
• Alignment improves when choices are clear
• Trust grows through consistency
