Leadership Without Authority: Influence, Trust & Action in a Complex World
In today’s dynamic workplaces, progress depends less on job titles and more on the ability to earn trust, align stakeholders, and coach others toward action.
Join this interactive, 60-minute session led by Catherine de la Poer to discover your own influence, map key relationships, and learn to build trust and psychological safety. Through power mapping, SCARF-based discussions, and real-world scenarios, this session empowers you to lead with impact.
By the end of the webinar, you will be able to:
- Redefine leadership as behavior, not a title.
- Identify and use informal power and influence.
- Build trust and psychological safety in teams.
- Apply a simple coaching model to influence without authority.
- Walk away with an actionable stakeholder influence plan.
