Influencing Internal Clients

is being presented by Herb Cohen, Senior Managing Partner, Performance Connections International, Inc and airs on Thursday, January 27th, 2011. For more details or to register, please visit our site at www.fxconferences.com

Successful technical professionals realize the importance of developing ongoing and productive “win-win” relationships with others inside their companies. Influencing and negotiating with coworkers in different areas of the company to gain their time and commitment to meet your needs is critical to your personal success as well as that of your business. This is especially true when resources are stretched.

Many people find it daunting when faced with a need to influence others, but the uniqueness of technical professional’s training and experience gives them additional layers of challenges and issues. While you and your coworkers all support the greater needs of the company, understanding each other’s individual and departmental issues is important in getting results. This isn’t always simple to do, and, in fact, can become even more complicated when you must make your case to a group, rather than to an individual.

Life After Merger: Integrating Teams and Retaining Top Talent

While mergers have a clear strategic value at the enterprise level, they can wreak havoc on the workforce. Employees often imagine the worst merger scenarios.
