    Most sustainability professionals sign up for the job because they want to: 
    • help alleviate climate change. 
    • see the Sustainable Development Goals implemented
    • reduce the amount of waste, pollution, inequality, hunger, poverty or injustice
    • or simply: make a positive difference.
     ​​​
    But things don't always work out that way. 
    All too often, the impact you are having is reduced by lack of funding, internal resistance and lack of support, making change slower and less far reaching than you'd like. It's exhausting and extremely frustrating. 
    ​      
    It’s like you've located the iceberg but noone is turning the titanic - they just keep themselves busy re-arranging deck chairs.

    You really need MORE.
    ​More change, more impact, more progress.

    But there's good news too: As a subject-matter trained expert, you were probably never trained in influence and persuasion (or, in other words: sales). You may not even have a communication background. Yet, recent surveys have shown that sustainability professionals spent more of their time influencing than implementing - and that their most needed skill is communication. 

    So the good news is this: these skills can be easily learned. In fact, it is actually EASY to enroll others fully into your vision, goals and projects if you simply know how to go about it. 

    What would be possible for your if you could apply the same persuasion and influence skills that marketing and sales experts use everyday to change people's decisions and behaviours - but for your good cause and in a way that is ETHICAL and AUTHENTIC?

    Influence for impact will enable you to:

    • Obtain agreement and support for your sustainability goals, initiatives and measures every single time
    • Raise the profile of sustainability within your organisation until it is embedded into every single decision, at every level
    • Build powerful supportive teams around you to be able to achieve more in a shorter period of time
    • Enroll anyone into your objectives and vision of a better future
    • Obtain full commitment to the SDGs and carbon-zero initiatives in your organisation
    • Overcome the singular focus on financial and shareholder objectives and replace it with a deep commitment to sustainability
    • Overcome any build-up of frustration or burn out that you may be experiencing
    • Boost your everyday communication skills and relationships with people
    • Develop your leadership skills and become a better version of yourself

     And better still, you'll achieve all of that while improving the relationships with those around you. 

    Influence for impact combines the art of strategic influence with the passionate and empathic kind of leadership required to create a better world.

    What you'll experience inside "Influence for Impact":

    STRATEGY

    It's no good having a great vehicle, if you lack the map of where you're going. So we'll start out with developing strong strategic foundations for maximum impact. We'll cover how to craft an effective influence strategy and more importantly how to present it to the right the people in the right way that gets buy-in.
    ​
    • Creating a clear set of action priorities at high leverage points
    • Identify, understand and profile key decision makers and stakeholder groups
    • Learn and practice the power of observation and feedback
    • Understand the power of state and the 6 human needs as drivers of change
    • Crafting engaging sustainability strategy that will demand action 
    • Determining exactly who you need to reach and how to create the biggest possible shift
    • Understanding levels of change and how to move people along the spectrum of change
    • Develop, clarify and target your change message to different audiences
    • (Re-)prioritize your actions in the light of influence - expand on what's possible

    SKILLS

    Most of us were trained to be subject matter experts - not sales people. Yet, selling is where we spend most of our time. What you'll learn is the fundamentals of influence and persuasion so that you can more effectively (but still authentically) engage key stake holders.

    What you'll learn is: 
    ​​
    • How to make anyone do anything - the pillars and tools of influence
    • How to create rapport
    • ​How to confidently and elegantly deal with objections
    • How to beat anyone's competing priorities
    • How to create engaging presentations that change hearts and minds
    • How to craft persuasive emails and copy that move people to action
    • How to conduct engaging meetings that leave people fired up and ready to act - without you needing to pester and prod​

    UPGRADED YOU

    Anyone can learn the skills of persuasion and influence - but not everyone will use them with integrity, ethics and deep authenticity. We believe that the type of leaders our time needs are those who deeply integrate and embody the change they want to see in the world. Change that starts from within. And we can't preach what we won't practice. We’ll help you develop the type of thinking and skills to become the leader you need to be to make the impact you desire. 
    ​
    • Having the body and mind of an inspirational leader
    • Creating healthy lifestyles and supportive relationships
    • How to adopt and maintain the thinking styles of successful leaders
    • Daily practices and routines to maintain inner and outer well being
    • How to create certainty in uncertain times
    • Overcoming self-doubt, procrastination, frustration and burn-out
    • How to never settle but create unstoppable momentum instead​
