Do you have plenty of good ideas but no one to help you turn them into 
reality? Are apathy or negativity preventing your team from making 
progress? Effective leaders know how to convince the people around them - 
even people they do not directly supervise - to get on board. Learn how you 
can introduce a new concept, propose a course of action, or recommend a 
policy in a way that makes others want to support your position and take 
action to move it forward.


Workshop Description: This is a half-day, highly interactive training 
session. In addition to lecture, general discussion, and Q&A sessions, 
preselected volunteer workshop participants will be videotaped in a 
simulated "convince me" situation. Taping will be followed by a training 
session on making your mind, face, body, and voice work for you in a given 
situation. Videotapes will be played back and discussed in light of the 
training. Participants will then be taped in a second simulated situation 
as they put their new skills to work. These "second takes" will show how a 
little training can lead to a lot of improvement.

Arch Lustberg is well-known as a leader in the field of dynamic
