The Reality in Legal Practice
Legal training develops expertise, experience, and opportunities for promotion and titles.
Leadership requires influence.
Many barristers and lawyers discover that technical skill and authority alone do not guarantee that people will listen, engage, or follow their lead.
When influence is missing, the default response is often to push harder, become more directive or aggressive, or try to micromanage or control. What appears to create control can, in fact, create resistance, disengagement, unnecessary conflict, and the loss of talented people.
The result: lost time, reduced profits, damaged relationships, and poorer outcomes.
Leaders Influence shows how high-performing leaders move people and situations forward without pushing harder, micromanaging, resorting to aggression or threatening consequences.
Participants learn how to influence teams, clients, and high-stakes situations to improve outcomes, strengthen relationships, and build trust.
The workshop concludes with a short practical implementation discussion, so participants leave with a clear approach they can apply immediately.

What Happens in This Workshop
This is not another legal skills or advocacy CPD session.
In this workshop, we build your High-Performing Leaders Influence Plan™ together — a practical approach you can use immediately when working with:
• teams
• clients
• counterparts
• conflict (in the office or in mediations)
• challenging personalities
You will leave with a clear plan for leading and influencing change — helping people understand what needs to happen, agree on the direction, and move forward without pushing harder, becoming aggressive, micromanaging, or escalating conflict.
The result:
• clients accept advice and make decisions faster
• teams take ownership and deliver without constant follow-up
• disputes and mediations progress toward resolution faster
• problems get addressed earlier (in difficult conversations) instead of avoiding or escalating
• you spend less time chasing people and more time achieving the best outcomes
In This Workshop, You’ll Learn How To
• Stop losing time and money pushing harder, becoming aggressive, or micromanaging when people don’t move.
• Influence teams so they become more productive, engaged, and willing to follow your lead.
• Deliver greater value to clients, teams, and high-stakes rooms through influence, not legal expertise alone, using leadership capabilities AI can’t replace.
All are using the High-Performing Leaders Influence Plan™, which we build together during the workshop.
 Workshop + Implementation
LEADERS INFLUENCE
This is not just another CPD workshop.
During the session, you will build your High-Performing Leaders Influence Plan™ — a practical approach you can use immediately to influence people and move situations forward.
You won’t just learn the ideas.
You will leave with your Leadership Influence Plan written and ready to use.
BONUS 1 — High-Performing Leaders Influence Plan™ Workbook
A structured workbook that we complete live during the workshop.
By the end of the session, your Leadership Influence Plan™ is written and ready to apply in teams, client work, mediations, and other high-stakes situations.
BONUS 2 — Workshop Recording (Lifetime Access)
You’ll receive the full workshop recording so you can revisit the session, pause, take notes, and refine your High-Performing Leaders Influence Plan™ whenever you need it.
BONUS 3 — Live Implementation Session (30 Minutes)
Immediately after the workshop.
If you want help applying the High-Performing Leaders Influence Plan™ to a real situation, stay for the implementation session.
Bring something you’re dealing with right now:
• a team member underperforming
• a difficult situation you’ve been avoiding
• a situation where pushing harder, becoming aggressive, or micromanaging hasn’t worked
• a situation you want handled differently next time
No confidential details required — just the situation and the outcome you want.
We’ll work through how influence shapes how you approach it.
Why This Matters
Most CPD sessions create good notes and good intentions.
Then they get added to a to-do list…
or put in a drawer.
And when the next difficult situation arises, nothing changes.
This workshop is different.
You will learn how Leaders Influence™ and we'll build your High Performing Leaders Influence Plan so you can apply it immediately, leaving with a practical plan you can use the next time you need to move people, change thinking or behaviour, or move situations forward.
Your Choice
Continuing to rely on legal expertise, experience, and title alone ≠leadership.
