Webinar #4 Advocate for what you need
The Challenge: It’s hard to know how to advocate for our own or our office’s needs, especially in a resource-scarce environment. Those needs might be: more staff, higher payer, more benefits or a change to office culture, or other tangible/intangible resources. No matter what, we have to be willing to get uncomfortable, be okay with uncertainty, and build a business case for support.
The Impact (of not addressing this): If we do not know how to harness our power (ourselves, our networks, our data, our resources) to ask for what we need, we will stay exactly where we are. That’s the opposite of progress and the opposite of how we learn and grow.
Learning Outcomes:
- Learn about Cialdini’s “Six Principles of Persuasion” and set your priorities.
- Understand what influences decision-making in you and in the person/s you are trying to influence.
- Learn how to use verbal and nonverbal language for positive effect.
- Learn how to build your business case through appealing to logic AND emotion.

MORE INFORMATION: The Global Leadership League and our Advocate partner CIS Abroad have teamed up to offer a virtual webinar series and certificate this summer to help you enter the new academic year empowered and ready to rock-n-roll.
As international educators, our roles encompass a range of skills that contribute to the overall success of our team and achievement of our goals. Many of us are thrust into managing people or budgets without any formal training or education. What to do?
We must understand our own strengths and challenges, know how to use our connections, learn how to analyze the right data to inform decisions, and ultimately apply our skills to advocate for change for ourselves or our organizations.
In this webinar series you will learn how to:
- Vanquish Imposter Thoughts by learning the 5 strategies to address them.
- Leverage Your Networks through understanding the barriers you face and why.
- Harness the Power of Data so you have the info you need to make decisions.
- Advocate for What you Need by building a business case that appeals to logic AND emotion
This series consists of 4 webinars PLUS the opportunity to complete a certificate program where you will engage with a personal learning workbook and meet in a few chat rooms to discuss. This is an amazing way to showcase your knowledge and also network and learn from others. You do not have to be signed up for the certificate to attend any of the webinars. The webinars are only available (and free) to League members and the certificate will cost $99 USD for League members.
