Working with
partners…may feel
risky at first….
But you might just win
them over with a little
help!
How do we get them to the table?
Two Part Team Exercise
- 10 minutes
Part One
• Find a partner
• Back in your organization, who has influence with others as an
opinion leaders
• Others follow them but they do not necessarily have authority
• On the front of the Influencing map write down 4 key champions in
the four center boxes
Part Two
• Talk with your partner(s) on what are the 3 key messages you
heard that would say to them
• Give each other feedback on the best
way to deliver the message
• We will talk about the messages
at the end of 10 minutes
Open the Door
• Invite your colleagues through
the door of their work

connections to their work
• Take your opinion leader
