LEAD THROUGH INFLUENCE: INCREASING YOUR LEADERSHIP EFFECTIVENESS

 
In this session, top executive coach and author Joel Garfinkle reveals his signature PVI model—Perception, Visibility, and Influence. These three powerful attributes produce valued employees and in-demand leaders capable of influencing decisions at every level of the organization.   The two pillars that support influence are perception and visibility; influence can't happen unless you have improved your perception and increased your visibility. Once you've established the appropriate level of perception, you will have gained a solid reputation and foundation of respect. After you've increased your visibility, you'll become known and valued in your company. Influence is now possible.   Employees who fully leverage the PVI Model unlock their talent, become more visible, and create a culture of increased productivity and contribution. Employers directly benefit from an energized and engaged workforce that establishes crucial competitive advantage.   Through practical advice, true-to-life examples, and action-oriented tips, audience members will learn how to improve the perceptions others have of them, increase their profile across the organization, and exert influence by driving change and inspiring people.
