Influencing Up, Down & Across Your College Campus

Wednesday, Nov 18

9 am

Can you effectively influence up, down, and across your college campus? Do people really listen when you talk? Can you assess a situation quickly and adapt your message to accomplish your communication and leadership goals? Do you know how to authentically motivate and inspire others to take positive action across your college campus? In this engaging session Jermaine will share his latest research on how leaders can use the principles and practices of communication and influence to increase team collaboration and institutional effectiveness.

This presentation is based on his bestselling book, Leading with Greatness! Moving from Chaos and Conflict to Communication and Cooperation. Get ready to laugh, learn, and of course have FUN!

You’ll learn how to motivate others using the practices of relationship-based and task-based leadership; create an authentic leadership brand utilizing the Likeability Factor; build a culture of appreciation and celebration using the R.A.P. Philosophy; rebuild and restore employee and leadership trust utilizing the 4 A’s Approach; lead with positivity and optimism by utilizing facilitative emotions; and communicate effectively and efficiently as a leader utilizing the Carpenter’s Rule.
