How to Develop Your Impact and Influence

 

Back in 2017 when I contributed to the PMI with my webinars I didn't expect them to get so much traction. I knew that influence is an important topic for Project/Program Managers, which I guess is why I was asked to do them in the first place.

Looking at the stats, this has been borne out, so I thought I'd kick off this blog again to share more practical ideas on the topic of influence.

When we did the webinars, we conceptualised them as a short course on influence, which now lives on in the PMI OnDemand library. So, why not check them out here:

1. Strategic Influencing for Project Managers
2. Diagnosing Power Dynamics Around Your Project
3. How to Handle Project Politics
4. Engaging Stakeholders with Style
5. Building Your Reputation
6. Gravitas: Making a Powerful Impact

There have been literally hundreds of comments, so why not add yours too. And when you do, help others in the community by making substantive comments about what you found most interesting, your own suggestions on the topic (I don't have a monopoly on good ideas!) or even, ask relevant questions. I look at them all, and will respond too.
