Workshop—Beyond Titles: Unlocking Your Influence

Many people are expected to improve how work gets done, even though they don’t make the final decisions. They spot issues early, propose changes, and then get stuck in discussions that go nowhere.

This hands-on workshop is about unlocking influence beyond titles. Instead of convincing, pushing, or escalating, you’ll learn how to let data, small experiments, and clear stories speak for you — and help decisions move forward.

Working with real situations, we will practice how to:

turn observations into decision-ready insights,
design small experiments that show results, not promises,
talk with managers about impact, risk, and trade-offs,
tell a simple story that makes change easier to say “yes” to.

You will leave with a clear approach to unlocking influence beyond titles, one experiment you can run immediately, and a practical way to talk about results that actually matter.

If you’re one of the people who want to create change and are looking for ways of unlocking influence beyond titles, this workshop is for you.

I also softened the last line slightly so it reads more naturally than repeating “without formal authority” with a direct phrase replacement.

Małgorzata will do the workshop with Dorota Sternalska-Wolska.
