How to Influence Up: Shift from Managing Tasks to Influencing Strategy

​Ever feel like you're crushing your to-do list but still invisible when the big decisions get made? You're probably too busy being really good at your job to notice you've accidentally become the person everyone assigns work to instead of the person setting the direction. Oops.

​This session is your escape hatch from Task Island. We're talking about the specific moves that get you from "Can you handle this?" to "What do you think we should do?" — the kind of shift that changes how leadership sees you and, honestly, how you see yourself. You'll learn how to read the room when strategy is being shaped, how to insert your ideas without sounding like you're trying too hard, and why managing up isn't sucking up (it's just smart).

​Bring your questions, your war stories, and your scepticism. The PIP Community is hosting this session on Google Meet, and we promise it'll be way more useful than another evening of pretending to work on that thing you've been avoiding.
