Influence smarter. Lead with clarity and AI insight.
Influence is how leaders create alignment and momentum, even without direct authority. In Leading with AI: Influence, you’ll explore how integrating AI to influence business can help you mobilize teams, engage stakeholders, shape messaging, and navigate resistance.
Learning objectives
Through guided practice and AI-supported exercises, you’ll learn to:
Clarify your influence map: Identify key stakeholders, their motivations, and credible paths to “yes.”
Elevate messaging: Use AI to draft, tighten, and tailor communications for different audiences and channels.
Build trust and credibility: Strengthen evidence-based reasoning, transparency, and timing.
Prepare for resistance: Rehearse tough conversations and “what if” scenarios with AI-driven simulations.
Act ethically: Apply privacy controls, bias checks, and responsible use of generative AI tools.
You’ll leave with
A practical framework for engaging the people who matter most
Tighter narratives and talking points you can use immediately
Tools to practice and improve high-stakes conversations
An Action Learning Project focused on your real-world influence challenge
