Communicating for Influence: A Taste of the Toolkit

Your team has brilliant ideas—but if they can’t share them in a way that influences others, those ideas go nowhere. In this high-impact, 45-minute workshop, participants will experience two playful, thought-provoking activities from Melissa’s Communicating for Influence™ program (used by teams at Meta, TMA, and Providence Healthcare). It’s a fun and fast-paced intro to the key communication skills marketers need to build buy-in, bridge departments, and connect with audiences.

Perfect For:

Marketers who need to present ideas persuasively, align cross-functionally, or build better rapport with stakeholders and customers.

Audience Takeaways:

• A visceral understanding of how “Yes, and” builds trust and momentum (vs. “Yes, but”)
• Practical tools for seeing possibilities in imperfect ideas
• Increased awareness of tone, empathy, and adaptability in communication
