Your Influence Quotient: The Essential Business IQ

Date: Wednesday, January 25, 2012 @ 1 pm Eastern 

While your Intelligence Quotient got you into your current position, it is your Influence Quotient that is most relevant to reaching your goals. 

• Have you been looked over for promotion?
• Does your market love your product or service yet nobody buys?
• Are your ideas and programs being accepted and implemented?
• Do you find that others get the credit for many of your ideas or efforts?
• Are your employees or staff giving you the proper respect, attention and support?

How business influence really works is rarely taught in business school. Your Influence Quotient: The Essential Business IQ reveals those unconscious behaviors, ques and messages that make people trust you, believe you…and respond in your favor! (...or not...)

This week on FWW you will learn how to speak with clarity, have your nonverbals be congruent with your message and come across as a confident leader. You will leave this 60-minute event with concrete tools necessary to be perceived the way you would like, so you can be consistently effective with coworkers, superiors, stakeholders and clients.

You will learn:

• Through a handshake, how to identify and influence different personality types
• What gestures allow people to believe and trust you and which do the opposite
• The 30 second method to exude confidence and get your point across every time   
• The 3 key variables essential to your ability to influence others

“Your Influence Quotient: The Essential Business IQ” is taught by internationally-known nonverbal communications expert, Sharon Sayler. 

As a Behavioral Communications Specialist, she literally wrote the book on nonverbal communication, What Your Body Says and How to Master the Message.  The book deals with our body language and what we need to do if we are not getting the results we want.  Her book has been published in 5 languages since its release last year. It is suggested reading in universities around the world.

Ms. Sayler was recently voted one of the 50 Authors You Should Be Reading in 2011.

Our Favorite Apps for iOS and Android Devices

Date: Wednesday, January 18, 2012 @ 1 pm Eastern

iPhones, Androids, tablets and a variety of other mobile devices provide you with the ability to download applications (or "apps") that enable you to do just about anything you want. As the saying goes, "there's an app for that" rings true with over 500,000 for Apple devices and 400,000 for the Android system.

This week on the show, Eric and Jeff are joined by Greg McPherson, fellow "technofile" and computer maven. Greg has been on several FWW shows in the past and was responsible for introducing us to several "cool tools" such as the LiveScribe pen and a variety of Mac gadgts and gizmos. While Eric remains true to his Android phone, Jeff and Greg are both iPhone guys - so the show will have a good mix of information for both types of device.

We're looking forward to a great show and sharing lots of ideas for how to get the most out of your smart phone or tablet device. Feel free to bring your suggestions to share as well. We'd love to hear what apps you can't do without!

What Lies Ahead in 2012 - Resolutions and Predictions for the New Year

Date: January 4, 2012 @ 1 pm Eastern

Wow, can you believe it says 2012 in the date above? Hard to believe that another year has passed, but it seems the older we get, the faster it goes. Hopefully all of our Free Webinar Wednesday fans enjoyed some time off over the holiday season and this week Eric and Jeff are "back in the saddle" to kick off the New Year with the first episode of 2012.

Since the popular thing to do this time of year is to create a list of resolutions (that may or may not make it to Easter), your hosts are going to jump on the bandwagon and share some of what they are hoping for over the next 12 months (and beyond). Some of what you'll hear will certainly be influenced by some of the guests that we have had on FWW in the past, yet some will be based on what (we think) lies ahead.

In addition to sharing some of their resolutions, Eric and Jeff will offer up some of their predictions for what may be coming along this year in business, technology, social media and a variety of other areas. We'd love to hear what you've got planned for the New Year, so be prepared to share some of your thoughts.

Welcome to 2012, it's going to be another great year...!
