  YOUR HIDDEN ADVANTAGE: HOW TO BECOME IMMENSELY VALUABLE THROUGH ADVOCACY

  In a world defined by speed and scale, relationships—and advocacy—are both a blind spot and a

  transformative opportunity for individuals and businesses.  

  
  

  Do you know:

  Who is important to your or your organisation's success, and why they matter?

  What matters to them?

  How to stay relevant and top of mind?

  
  

  WE SPEND A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT TIME EQUIPPING OURSELVES TO ANSWER "WHAT DO I KNOW THAT COULD HELP?" WHEN IT COMES TO PROBLEM-SOLVING.

  
  

  WHAT IF WE COULD ADD THE SAME (OR MORE) VALUE TO OUR ORGANISATIONS BY ASKING "WHO DO I KNOW WHO MIGHT HELP?" WHEN FACED WITH A PROBLEM.  ISN'T THAT WORTH INVESTING IN? 

  
  

  This three-module program will equip you with the know-how and confidence to efficiently and effectively build and systematically maintain meaningful connections that add-value to you and the people around you.  Kwan's high-thought, low touch framework empowers you to build trust and influence with purpose. 

  
  

  Join Jon Burgess, advocacy expert and founder of international management consultancy Kwan, to learn:

  * Foundational behaviours that foster genuine connection and cohesive teamwork

  * How to design a professional network based on mutual consideration and understanding

  * How to foster cohesion and alignment among customers, employees and stakeholders, and create systems of collaboration

  * How to use advocacy to empower teams and build loyalty, trust and impact

  * How to embed advocacy into your or your organisation's operating rhythm -- to achieve the advantages at scale

  
  

  Connected individuals and collaborative teams inspire confidence, drive engagement,

  and cultivate a culture of cohesion - take advantage of FEI's partnership with Kwan to participate in this unique program that has been presented at Harvard Business School.

  • Free for FEI Alumni Members
  • FEI Members can participate at a cost of $199
