Advocate for What You Want – And Win

Whether you’re in sales, marketing, or leadership, you have to advocate for your ideas, your products, and yourself every day. Advocating is building belief and overcoming doubts. It’s a vital business skill that no one has taught you – until now.

For Leaders

ADVOCATE FOR CHANGE, INNOVATION, YOUR TEAM AND YOURSELF

In times of change, people often become less loyal, less connected, and less invested. And as a result, the changes fail. It’s not enough for a leader to have great ideas. We need the tools to build belief in those ideas and our ability to execute them. Teams follow leaders because they believe, and an effective leader knows how to build belief. Leaders must learn to advocate.

In this actionable keynote, you’ll learn how to build belief in your ideas, your products, your business, and your team. You’ll learn how to optimize your energy, turn facts into evidence, and use cognitive empathy to speak to other perspectives. When you communicate, you share perspectives. When you advocate, you change them. You’ll leave this keynote with the tools to change your team’s perspective of change so everyone wins.

Master the Art of Asking

Three things stop us from getting what they want:

  • We don’t know what we want;
  • We don’t ask for it, out loud and with DELIGHT;
  • Or we don’t master the art of the ask.

No matter which of these stops you from getting what you want, you’ll learn the tools to overcome it in this keynote.

In this interactive, engaging keynote Heather Hansen shares how to persuade any “jury” to give you a win. She’ll share the tools you can use to overcome your own doubts and then move on to overcoming others’. You’ll build belief in yourself, your value and your potential and then build that same belief in others.
