Connie Dieken Presents Your Leadership Influence, Interrupted
April 28, 2021
12:30 pm – 1:30 pm
This program, fully titled, Your Leadership Influence, Interrupted: How to use this Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity to Emerge Even More Influential, will be a highly interactive, engaging, and entertaining session. During this session Connie will share a proven method for leaders who want to make things happen in today’s fast-paced, attention-deficit world.
You will learn three powerful habits to help them connect with anyone, convey information clearly, and convince anyone to act.
Connect-Convey-Convince©– Connie uncovered these core habits during 16 years of guiding C-suite executives to successfully grow their organizations, and she will share relatable, often humorous, examples of how and when to use each one; and why most of us overuse one habit, much to our detriment.
- Habit 1: Connect – to engage, align, and resonate with shared values
- Habit 2: Convey – to clarify information, increase certainty, and reduce doubt
- Habit 3: Convince – to activate, empower, and gain specific commitment
These habits will develop a consistent methodology to use in both business and personal lives.
