And, with Julie Finn

Executive influence, senior leadership, and high stakes decision making are at the heart of this episode. We explore the uncomfortable gap many leaders feel between the power they hold on paper and what actually moves when they speak. You will learn the real difference between power and influence, why your title is not enough, and how your reputation travels into rooms you never enter. I walk through how influence shows up in your decisions, in high pressure meetings, and in the way people use your name when they argue for or against an idea. You will hear research backed cues like social proof, reciprocity, and clarity, translated for boardrooms, partner meetings, and investment committees. Most importantly, you will leave with concrete moves you can test this week to make your voice easier to follow and your decisions easier to execute.If this conversation lands for you, connect with me on LinkedIn so we can keep building your influence in the rooms that matter most: https://www.linkedin.com/in/julieappiahfinn/And if you’d like to explore working together, please head over to my website to learn more.
