In any role, success depends on your ability to work through and with others. Whether you’re collaborating with a new team, coordinating across functions, supporting a hesitant colleague, or re-engaging a team member who’s gone quiet, a strong relationship strategy is essential.
This interactive lab gives you practical tools to build and manage the relationships that matter most—whether you’re leading projects, driving change, or building everyday alignment. You’ll learn how to diagnose what others care about, shift the dynamics of influence, and create the kind of traction that turns ideas into action.
In this course you will learn how to:
Analyze what different stakeholders value—and how those drivers shape their behavior
Diagnose common causes of misalignment or disengagement—even in neutral or positive relationships
Adapt your influence approach based on temperament, context, and power dynamics
Apply high-impact techniques for building trust, getting buy-in, and sustaining momentum
Set practical goals to move relationships from the current state to productive working partnerships

"The class atmosphere was so inclusive! I often attend classes and don't have a sense of belonging, but did not experience that with this class. It was interactive rather than a lecture. Our instructor knew when to let us discuss ideas vs. 'instructing' us. Persimmon knocked it out of the park!"
