The Enabling Change SIG’s mission is to ‘improve the change capability of organisations, teams and individuals. CMI’s competency framework could be one tool to support this.

In this webinar Melanie Franklin enables viewers to find out about the CMI’s competency framework, and assess if and how this is something that could help them, their teams and their organisations develop their change capability.

She does this through a combination of presentations and a couple of polls during the webinar. Melanie will also allow some time for Q&A.

N.B. The SIG is ‘method neutral’, so that we invite speakers from a range of external change-related organisations to speak at our events.

The webinar also provides a quick update on the SIG’s work in developing the resources available to members, including its plans for an introductory publication on managing change.

Melanie will outline the objectives of the Change Management Institute, give a flavour of its members and explain the skills and behaviours of excellent change and transformation professionals, using the Competency Model from the Change Management Institute.

Activity Type: Education – Online or Digital Media 1 Hour 1 PDU
Provider: American Management Association (REP 1294)

Listening, Engagement, Commitment:
The Path to Win-Win Outcomes

In this post-pushing, post-selling world, influence can no longer be viewed as something you do to someone to get what you want. People today are more aware than ever before about self-serving tricks and tactics being used on them.

In fact, gaining real influence isn’t even about what you want. Based on the presenters’ decades of experience and extensive interviews with high-level influencers “people in business, government, nonprofits, sports, the arts, and more”  Goulston and Ullmen share what they’ve learned about the remarkable power of real influence and offer insights for tapping into it.

What You Will Learn:

• The simple four-step model that will help you connect with people you thought were unreachable
• How to get past the “blind spot“ in our brains that makes connecting and influencing impossible
• How to avoid bad influence habits that can disconnect you from your team, your clients, your family, and others
• How listening with a real motive to learn and understand will change a relationship instantly
• Ways to repair a reputation damaged by trying to influence via manipulation
• Why one of the biggest factors in becoming a power influencer is gratitude

Presenter:

Mark Goulston, M.D., is an executive coach, team building consultant trained as a clinical, psychiatrist. He has been a UCLA professor of psychiatry for more than 25 years. He is the bestselling author of four books, including his latest, Just Listen: Discover the Secret to Getting Through to Absolutely Anyone. In addition, he writes the Tribune Media syndicated career advice column, “Solve Anything with Dr. Mark,” blogs for Fast Company and the Huffington Post and is a contributor to Harvard Business online.
