How We Got There: Influencing Without Authority | Online

About this event

Ever found yourself leading an important project involving different stakeholders, but in an unofficial capacity? You are now in charge of managerial responsibilities like managing and coordinating a team and rallying efforts and budget to drive changes. However, without an authority over those involved and their jobs, you find it tricky to get those involved to prioritize your tasks over those assigned to them by their supervisors.

Sounds familiar? Then you know how difficult it can be to influence without authority, yet it is a critical skill to master for project managers. So how do you go about keeping the cats herded and moving right along to master even the most complex projects?

Join us for this session as we uncover the secrets to successfully influence others without formal authority. We’ll guide you through the benefits of influencing without authority, how to go about doing it by leveraging your expertise and strengths, best practices and pitfalls to avoid.

This event series is of course open to all genders — anyone who supports the careers of women in business and tech is welcome to attend.
