COURSE 1

AMPLIFY

(Leadership through Strategic Relationships + Alliances) x
Purposeful Personal Branding & StorySharing = Amplification

80% of professionals say networking is essential for career success, yet 48% struggle to maintain connections.

Leaders who effectively share their personal brand stories are 22 times more likely to be remembered.

Are you strategically building relationships that amplify your influence and success? What if you could align your brand with key alliances to create lasting, scalable impact? Join us for this interactive short course!

You may be familiar with the PIE model (Performance, Image, Exposure), where only 10% of leadership success rests with Performance and 90% with Image and Exposure. But what if we expanded that framework with stronger, research-backed and data-driven foundations? AMPLIFY moves beyond individual visibility to emphasize strategic partnerships, purposeful branding, and co-created narratives. By mastering the art of relationship-driven influence and story-sharing, you’ll elevate both your career and your organization’s impact.

Course Topics Include:

- - - Paired Purpose. The intersection of aligned mutual visionary goals magnifies collaboration and fuels purposeful partnerships.
    - Imaginarium. An ecosystem of creativity and innovation blends vision, imagination, and branding into a system showcasing multidimensional personal and professional identities.
    - Elevation. A method of enhancing co-created and co-evolving narratives through collaborative StorySharing that emphasizes mutual growth and upward trajectory over individual exposure.
    - Relationship Strategy. A focused system to build and sustain strategic, value-driven relationships prioritizing mutual success and impact—scalable to larger alliances.

Are you effectively influencing your organization’s most valuable resource—people—to achieve optimal outcomes? What if you could implement influence strategies that require minimal effort yet yield maximum impact? Join us for this interactive short course!

PEOPLENOMICS explores the economics of human interaction in practical and tactical ways, focusing on how to effectively channel influence to produce positive results. This experiential, research-based course provides tools to build broad, “ambient” influence in nearly automated ways, emphasizing minimal input for maximum impact.

Course Topics Include:

- Economics of Reputation & Context. Develop skills that systematically form a broader context of relationships and social environment toward building a stronger reputation.
- Relationships, Mind & Matter. Rather than “mind over matter,” when it comes to influence, both the mental and physical matter. Understanding key concepts like Embodied Cognition and Relationship Typologies will help maximize mutual success among you and your colleagues.
- Championship & Followership. How can you serve as a Champion and Follower to achieve impact and high performance? Leverage models and tactics to champion and follow effectively—a powerful leadership combination!
