We’re wrapping up our Project Pro & Pizza Nights series with one last, can’t-miss hybrid event! Join us on Tuesday, May 6, for "The Art and Science of Influence" with David Mantica.
The ability to influence others has become an essential skill as organizations continue to flatten and decision-making increasingly spreads across teams. No longer tied strictly to titles or hierarchy, today’s success depends on how effectively you can gain buy-in, build trust, and drive decisions across diverse groups. Influence, when done well, can unlock collaboration, accelerate initiatives, and foster innovation.
In this session, David will explore the psychology behind influence, the key sources of personal and professional power, and how to avoid the common mistakes that undermine credibility. You’ll learn practical techniques for framing your ideas, using social proof, and cultivating strong networks—all critical for making an impact in agile, fast-moving organizations.
Whether you’re leading a project, working across departments, or championing new initiatives, you’ll walk away with actionable strategies to become a key driver of results and a trusted voice in your organization.
Join us for a dynamic hybrid experience featuring a live-streamed webinar paired with in- person discussions—and yes, delicious pizza!
