Become an InfluenceHR: Six Principles Guaranteed to Increase Your Persuasiveness

Anyone can formulate great ideas, but the most successful professionals know how that it’s the HOW and not that WHAT that wins with the C-suite. Rejection has little to do with the idea and much more to do with the method in which the solution is presented (and how it affects the bottom line). You’ll learn six key principles that can be used to develop comradery, influence decisions, and drive results.

Stay Awhile! Retaining Top Talent

With the pace of resignations hovering near an all-time high, it’s time to rethink the outdated retention strategies we’ve been relying on and prioritize the approaches that are creating real value for employees. Modern management is all about engaging on a personal-level, empowering on a team-level, and recognizing high-performers.

Translating Numbers to Narratives: Data Storytelling

Did you know that facts are 22 times more memorable to an audience when delivered within the context of a story? It’s one thing to disseminate information, and it’s quite another to bring your data to life through a story. In today’s environment, you can’t stop at data analysis – you need data storytelling to communicate the insights in a captivating and memorable way.

The Feedback Sandwich: Breakfast of Champions

Feedback is like physical exercise: good for everyone, hard to get started, but easier to maintain. Similar to exercise, you need to make feedback a habit until it’s embedded into your daily routine. Many people put off sticky situations or tough conversations until they become ugly emergencies, but the smartest professionals prevent messes by sharing regular doses of feedback. It’s all about building a foundation of trust and communication through open and honest feedback.
