We tend to think of leadership as something granted by a title — manager, director, VP. But if the last few years have taught us anything, it’s that real leadership comes from people who can inspire, collaborate, and move others toward solutions… no matter where they sit on the org chart.

Today’s workplaces move quickly. Teams are stretched, priorities shift daily, and not everyone has the time or authority to make sweeping decisions. What everyone does have, though, is influence — the ability to shape conversations, guide decisions, and strengthen relationships in a way that moves work forward.

And that’s exactly why we’re excited to share Tammy Wellbrock’s new video series, Influence Without Authority, now streaming on the Ten-Minute Trainer Network.

Why Influence Skills Matter More Than Ever

Think about your typical workday. How many times do you need to persuade, clarify, negotiate, nudge, or align with others just to get something done? Probably more than you realize.

Influence shows up everywhere:

• Sharing an idea in a meeting and hoping it lands

• Trying to help a peer understand why something matters

• Offering data to a manager who’s about to make a decision

• Collaborating across departments

• Encouraging someone who’s disengaged or frustrated

Authority might move tasks, but influence moves people. And when you build strong influence skills, you unlock leadership opportunities long before you ever receive a title.

Introducing Tammy Wellbrock’s 4-Part Series: Influence Without Authority

In this brand-new series, Tammy Wellbrock breaks down how professionals at any level can lead with confidence, empathy, and clarity — even without formal power.

Here’s what she covers:

Part 1: The Art of Persuasion –

How to frame ideas in a way that invites collaboration instead of resistance. Tammy shows how curiosity and neutral language turn tension into progress.

Part 2: Leading Up

Influence your manager by offering insight, clarity, and solutions. You’ll learn how to become a trusted advisor rather than just a follower.

Part 3: Leading Across

Peer leadership is one of the toughest forms of influence. Tammy explains how to address conflict respectfully, strengthen trust, and collaborate without stepping on toes.

Part 4: Credibility Currency

Consistency creates trust. Tammy explores how credibility becomes your most powerful tool for influencing outcomes, shaping decisions, and building your professional reputation.

Each video delivers real stories, actionable advice, and quick frameworks you can start using today.
