Lead by Influence, Not Intimidation

With Yannik McKie

Because real influence? It’s not about being the loudest voice in the room.
It’s about leading in a way that people actually want to follow.

Georgia Cyber Innovation & Training Center - Bit And Byte Room

25 September from 12:00 PM - 01:00 PM

The best leaders don’t force people to follow — they earn it.

In this session, we’re talking about the kind of leadership that builds trust, not tension.

In this free masterclass, Yannik McKie will walk you through how to lead in a way that earns trust, builds buy-in, and inspires people to follow you because they want to—not because they have to. If you’re ready to grow your leadership without force or control, this session is for you.

The difference between positional power and relational influence

How to lead with clarity, confidence, and consistency

Testimonial

When asked to invite a guest speaker for a college service, Yannik was my first choice. Regardless of age group or atmosphere, Yannik is able to adapt his speaking and teaching styles and diction to make his life lessons suitable for any audience. Not only was he able to entertain my colleagues, he was able to encourage them to overcome daily obstacles such as peer pressure, balancing academic and social life, etc. We were so impressed with him that he was personally invited back by Vice President of Student Affairs. We will definitely be using his services again…
