Some of the following testimonials came from participants on their six week follow-up evaluation after attending the POSITIVE POWER AND Influence® Program. The others came unsolicited from supervisors of past participants and directly from past participants: “After the program, we not only saw individuals with improved skills, but also increased team effectiveness. The Influence skills program opened the minds of individuals to behaviors of others around them, and consequently how to be effective in a group.“ “Disarmed an angry manager by bridging with him in a meeting.” “Eight years after graduating from [the] POSITIVE POWER AND Influence® Program, I am still using the skills and techniques I gained there. The training is so effective, I was able to walk out of the workshop and successfully apply new Influence styles to real life situations in my organization. The role plays and facilitation sessions really helped me retain and utilize what I learned.” “I have been able to utilize bridging to obtain approval on a monthly report sent to the field. The bridging was successful with our legal department. This was one of the goals I set at the seminar.” “The program has been helpful when working with sales reps, specifically teaching them how to bridge better with doctors.” “A Veterans’ Administration Hospital has continually given me a hard time bringing in new meds and reacted very differently once my approach was sharpened. The skills I learned helped me get my products into the hospital and my competitors’ out.” “Supplier-customer teams: Got them to buy in on specific criteria for supplier certification.” “I used bridging and persuading to get a group of vice presidents and peers to delay a product’s introduction in order to do it right the first time.” “Negotiated with my boss for additional time and resources to complete a project. (Time and resources are hard to come by in this department!)” “Used bridging technique to gather a large amount of information from a person who normally does not share information or knowledge.” “My current job is to Influence and persuade employees on the health and safety aspects of their job. I’ m using the different techniques of Influence. I have accomplished in two months what the previous engineer could not in five years.” |
