Algorithms For Influence

Imagine this: You're an engineer who's not just great at tech but also nails every human interaction. No more 'just the coder' label. You're the teammate everyone wants on their side. Clear in your words, a pro at understanding folks, and turning every piece of feedback into real impact. The real perk? These skills don't just make work easier—they shoot your value through the roof. You're not just levelling up; you're becoming the full package. The engineer everyone—team, boss, company—needs and respects.

Become The Engineer Everyone Talks About

Driven engineers who want effective async communication and quickly build rapport, even whilst remote.

Passionate managers who look after a diverse range of personalities and want to best support and champion their team.

Collaborative architects and individual contributors with stakeholders to please and impact to make.

Week 1: Meet The Five Key Behavioural Science Forces Working Against You

You'll be introduced to Whole Brain® Thinking, a strategy that lets you use your full cognitive potential. This isn't about squeezing more out of your brain; it's about understanding and tapping into its diverse capabilities. Think of it as learning to play every instrument in your mental orchestra.

Week 2: Unlock Whole Brain® Thinking

Step up your communication by asking the right questions and packaging your messages for maximum impact. Dive into the art of empathy and learn to spot the subtle cues and undertones in conversations. By becoming an attentive listener, you'll catch what's often missed, ensuring that you truly understand others and they understand you.

Week 3: Uncover the 90% You're Missing in Conversations

This week is about fine-tuning your communication to fit each unique situation and person. You'll get hands-on techniques to adjust how you interact, both face-to-face and online. It's not about changing who you are but adapting your approach to ensure clear, effective communication every time.
