THE VIRTUOSO INFLUENCER
The Art of Transforming Stakeholders into Sponsors
This two-day workshop will provide participants with innovative capabilities to transform their stakeholders into ardent sponsors who will ‘put up their hands’ for them which is especially crucial as stakeholders can influence the participant’s success. The support, cooperation and compliance required from stakeholders can be secured more easily to achieve one’s objectives.
The participant will be armed with creative strategies to have artful and purposeful engagements with their stakeholders which will elevate his relationship with his stakeholders from that of a delivery manager cum service provider to that of a trusted advisor and professional friend. In these new elevated roles, the participant will determine the stated and unstated expectations stakeholders, diligently serve their interests, address their concerns and contribute to their success. By virtue of the law of reciprocity, when the participant serves the significant interests of his stakeholder, the participant’s interests will be served by the stakeholder
As relevance increases power, participants can leverage the latter to influence their stakeholders, become the ‘go to’ person for them and be invited to ‘take a seat’ at their table.
Finally, this workshop will offer participants a structured process, underpinned by a number of well tested techniques and tools, to identify, categorise, engage and understand stakeholders. Adherence to the process will lead to the abovementioned powerful outcomes and increased self-confidence and self-fulfilment for the participant.
