You may suffer from “Independence Poverty.”

For most of my life, I believed that being multitalented and entirely self-sufficient was the ultimate achievement. Thanks to my parents, I immersed myself in Renaissance history during my Italian studies abroad and took pride in considering myself a modern-day Renaissance man, like da Vinci: well-rounded, adaptable, and capable of innovative thinking across different areas of expertise. While I still cherish my natural curiosity to explore new skills and ways to think, my life took a massive turn for the better the day I learned about the myth of being self-sufficient.

In the dynamic and technically interconnected world of the 21st century, human influence is a critical determinant of success.

We invite you to join us at the Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles on July 17 for a workshop focusing on "Practicing the Human Touch," a trend highlighted by futurist Bernard Marr in Forbes Magazine and the latest McKinsey report.  

As automation advances, the ability to foster successful human interactions becomes a vital differentiator, and with five generations working together for the first time in history, the need for effective communication and collaboration is greater than ever.

At the workshop, we will practice the skills that will set you apart and explore real-world scenarios and practical strategies for nurturing and applying these skills in your professional journey. Gain insights into why organizations are investing in this critical differentiator. Develop these attributes and learn how to adapt to this transformative shift in the business landscape. 

Influential U co-founders John Patterson and Kirkland Tibbels deliver an immersive, practical experience that will elevate your professionalism and equip you to thrive in a world where the human touch remains irreplaceable. This workshop will help you cultivate essential people skills needed to excel in 2024 and beyond.
