Managing Up: Influence Without Authority to Earn Recognition and Respect

Image

Managing up isn't about trying to impress or overly please others. It's a learnable skill set that helps you teach others how to treat you.

In this talk, author, human behavior professor, and executive coach Melody Wilding, LMSW will offer a practical playbook for effectively engaging with your superiors. This session will empower you to get your ideas across, your work noticed, and your career advanced.

You may lack formal authority, but with these skills, you can get what you need from the people in charge and take control of your own work experience, even in the face of conflicting priorities, competing demands, and tight budgets.
