The effectiveness of agile approaches are built on influence rather than authority. Practices like co-location and stand-ups actually amplify influence, leveraging behavior patterns built in to humans through biology and social conditions. Participants in this webinar will unpack some fundamental influence patterns and turn them into conscious tools for leadership. Through interactive and engaging exercises, you’ll amplify and practice your ability to influence by quickly establishing and building rapport via voice and physiology. You’ll even recognize how to break rapport (helpful when pulling discussions out of ratholes) as well as how to use these tools to lead teams and individuals. All while having fun.

Come learn some simple, yet subtle techniques to shift communication effectiveness by a factor of 5 or more. And while participants are advised away from initial use with stormtroopers, any VCs, executives or clients *are* fair game.
