Hi members!
For our next session on Tuesday 26 May 2020, we are delighted to welcome
back Dr Alicia Fortinberry, Principal at Fortinberry Murray, to present Influence
and Impact in crisis and uncertainty.
These turbulent times offer both risk and opportunity. Firms are forced
to make cutbacks and leaders face difficult decisions with no clear line of
sight to the future. Fear, anxiety, anger and the resulting paralysis are
widespread. In this environment, technical knowledge is not enough to
thrive, or in some cases even survive, in business. And just when you need to
be seen to add value as a calming, confidant presence and supportive influencer
you are often forced to do so virtually. You can’t count on being able
to just drop by someone’s office for a chat or bond through gossip on the way
to a meeting.
Dr Alicia Fortinberry is globally recognized for her ability to help
people radically improve their lives and careers. She offers practical,
simple skills and concepts based on the latest science that really work in
business and at home. You will gain tips and tools you can start to use
immediately to:
- Read
others’ mood and concerns
- Project
calm, confidence and focus during any interaction
- Get
people committed to you and your ideas
- Enhance
your own and others’ mood and resilience
- Become
indispensable as a trusted advisor, colleague or leader
Alicia is an internationally recognised expert in strategy, leadership,
influencing, human motivation and organisational change. Drawing on the latest
science in neurobiology, genetics and a wide range of other “human sciences”
she enables individuals and organisations to thrive. Her proven, practical
concepts and tools drive successful relationships, resilience, culture,
leadership and strategy.
Alicia works extensively with top-tier professional and financial
service organisations as well as Global Fortune 500 companies in the US,
Europe, Asia and Australia.
With her partner Dr Bob Murray, she received the prestigious US Science
Achievement Award from the American Association for the Advancement of Science
for their work on personality and change. Based on their work on workplace
stress, they were appointed to head the US government’s comprehensive National
Work Stress Initiative under President Obama’s administration. Their books
include The Human Science of Strategy: What works and what doesn’t and Leading
the Future: The Human Science of Law Firm Strategy and Leadership (both ARK Group,
London) and two popular best-sellers Creating Optimism, and Raising an
Optimistic Child (both McGraw-Hill, New York).
