Case studies from participants in the Confident Influential Leader Program:

"I built a new inner voice and made practical changes in my behavior. I used to take much more
blame on myself, worry about what other people thought, and think that I wasn't quite good enough.
Now it's a whole different picture: I started the most successful service line in our region. I developed
a very influential position in the firm and have the most confidence I've ever had in my whole profes-
sional career!
- Karen V., Price Waterhouse Coopers

"...Promoted within 90 days. This program helped me get over my fear and be a leader so I could
accomplish my Bold Goal (to put on an event for our people in the 'field'). The company is making my
Event a best practice. I was asked to present to the senior leadership team, and then a small group
private dinner hosted by the CEO!! This program exceeded my expectations!"
- Ebonee Pruitt, Astellas

"...Outweighs all other programs. You can apply the tools Dr. Melnick provides right away. In an
influencing situation that was crucial to my career I had been getting a "No" and trying to figure out
how to get buy-in... I used the tools and right away I got a "Yes"! Now I am moving the important
work forward and my manager approached ME about a promotion!"
- Marcia Dukes, Prudential

"In only 4 months I shifted from individual performer to managing half a team to now managing the
whole team (something I thought I couldn't do a year ago). This changed the course of my career. I no
longer seek people's approval and I'm now anchored in being a Confident Leader everyday. I'm much
faster and effective at solving problems at their root cause so I am taking on much bigger challenges. My
manager now says I am more thoughtful, strategic, and making a bigger impact than people who have
been in the role for 10 years."
- Julie Culleton, Aptus Health

"Exponentially improved my Influence within weeks. After I was ready to leave out offrustration, I'm
having more impact than I ever imagined. Leaders in the organization I could never reach are asking
ME for my ideas. Its mind boggling the way male colleagues and senior leaders just switched their
mindset to now support me. I am now leading initiatives. I have to "do much less" to be "recognized
much more" for what I deliver."
- Stefani K., Oil Company

"I got a promotion, and both a raise and a bonus! I used to think inside my 'to do list'. By thinking
strategically, now I can pick and choose the projects I want AND they will support me. Sharon Melnick
is a Godsend. I made more progress in my self development and career progression in the program
than I made in years."
- Paulette Rand, AstraZeneca

sounds eloquent and every one listens to whenever they open their mouth. Inspire others to action.
Start seeing others across the organization invite you to a seat at the table.

Communicate concisely so people immediately 'get' your ideas
Articulate powerfully (even when thinking on your feet)
Matchthe 'type' of your influencing strategies with the social and communication style of the
decision maker to melt resistance

organization. Become free of self doubt, second guessing, and fear of others' judgments so you have
confidence to take bold action and ask for next level opportunities.

Be confident communicating with senior leaders, large groups, opposing views
Lift up from perfectionism to be a Strategic Leader
Fearlessly offer bold ideas
Trust yourself to make decisions without angst
Speak up or pushback even when intimidated or worried

More feedback about the Confident Influential Leader program:

"100% worth the investment."

- Deshanie Rai, PhD, Bayer

"I achieved my Bold Goal: I got promoted within 90 days!"

- Shannon S., Genentech

"I was pigeon-holed in my role for 10 years, and within only one month, I've changed the perception
my boss and boss's boss had of me. This happened by me showing up as a confident leader in my
telephone encounters, writing, and by not reacting. Yesterday they were raving about me and we
are now talking about an expanded role. This program is GREAT. Sharon Melnick is phenomenal
at what she does in the group setting and the individual consult was even more helpful. I highly
recommend this program."
- J.A., Biotech company

"Truly inspirational and highly impactful to me and the organization. Other trainings give encouragement
or theories, but don't actually build confidence. Sharon's content combined with her packaging
made it "stick" so we can apply it consistently (we still reference it on a daily basis.) Now we drive
change each day. We ask for resources, give feedback up and down the organization, feel strong
to push back when appropriate, and influence others for win-win.

100% of the participants rated it as 'recommended to others'. It's enabled me to manage several
highly challenging situations successfully, and I got the role I wanted. We are forever grateful that we
had this training."
- Cornelia Ecker, Women's Leadership Network, Procter & Gamble
