Things like quick exchanges\, LinkedIn requests\, and transactional networking. But real influence comes from real relationships. In this session\, we’ll explore how to move beyond the “check-the-box” approach to build authentic\, lasting connections that drive business and trust. \nUsing insights from behavioral psychology and simple tools\, we’ll break down the core elements of relational intelligence and provide a roadmap for turning casual contacts into trusted allies. \n Key Takeaways: \n\nStrengthening Influence with the 4 C’s: Rate themselves on Character\, Chemistry\, Competence\, and Credibility in BD relationships.\nThe Support-Challenge Matrix in Conversations: Assess if they are too supportive (people-pleaser) or too challenging (transactional).\n\nPart 2: Building Influence in a Multigenerational Work Environment\nThis workshop promises to provide valuable insights into understanding and bridging generational gaps\, with a strong focus on empathy and influence as the keys to successful collaboration. The speaker will delve into the unique characteristics of different generations\, dispel common stereotypes\, and explore the costs of generational discord in the workplace. Attendees will leave with practical strategies for building empathy\, fostering collaboration\, and creating a harmonious multigenerational work environment. \nKey Takeaways: \n\nUnderstanding Generational Diversity: Gain a deep understanding of the diverse generations in the workforce\, from Baby Boomers to Gen Z\, and how historical events have shaped their values and behaviors.\nThe Power of Empathy: Learn why empathy is the linchpin for bridging generational gaps and discover practical exercises and strategies for developing this crucial skill.\nFostering Multigenerational Collaboration: Discover communication strategies\, mentoring programs\, and leadership approaches that can be immediately implemented to promote collaboration among employees from different generations.\n\nFeatured Speaker: Skot Waldron\nWhere human behavior meets business impact. \nSkot Waldron is a sought-after speaker\, leadership consultant\, and communication strategist who has worked with top organizations such as J.P. Morgan Chase\, the CDC\, the PGA Tour\, Sesame Workshop\, The Home Depot\, and the Coca-Cola Company. His expertise in translating human behavior into actionable strategies has helped leaders and teams across industries enhance alignment\, connection\, and performance. \nAs the author of the Amazon best-seller Unlocked: A 52-Week Guide For The Intentional Leader\, Skot provides a blueprint for practical\, transformational leadership. His globally recognized podcast\, Unlocked With Skot Waldron\, further expands his mission of equipping leaders with the tools to communicate with impact and build lasting influence. \nWhat sets Skot apart is his 20+ years of experience in brand and communication strategy\, which have increased his ability to understand why people behave the way they do. His approach is rooted in deep empathy\, but not as an abstract concept. Instead\, he leverages empathy to drive real results\, creating environments where people feel seen\, heard\, and understood. \nThrough his workshops\, coaching\, and keynotes\, Skot blends humor\, insight\, and practical frameworks to help organizations cut through communication barriers and drive meaningful change. \nWith a sharp eye for patterns in human behavior\, an ability to simplify the complex\, and a passion for empowering others\, Skot helps leaders and teams unlock their full potential\, one conversation at a time. \nSkot likes to say he brings clarity to the chaos. \nCredit Hours:\nSMPS CES: 3.0 CEUs or 3.0 LUs\nAIA CES: 3.0 LU Approved \nCoffee Breaks and Lunch are included. \nTickets\n$130.00 SMPS Member Ticket \n$130.00 AIA|LA Member Ticket \n$130.00 Other SMPS Member Ticket \n$150.00 Non-Member Ticket \nPlease click here to register on the SMPS site. \nParking\nStreet parking is available.
