You Cannot Skip Steps On The Ladder of Influence®
The Ladder of Influence®: 5 Steps for Climbing to the Next Level and Beyond
A simple framework for building 360° of influence — peers, team, boss, and in your personal life too. Influence is simple and complex at the same time. People are dynamic. This program provides a practical “how to climb” guide to influence instead of a general pep talk on “being a leader.”
What the Organization Gets: People with or without a position who can motivate, inspire, and influence others.
What they learn in the room:
- A clear 5-step structure for building influence
- How to and why you should lead yourself first
- How character and competence build trust
- Why developing others maximizes your influence
- How consistent contribution allows you to leave a legacy within others

How This Works
Most companies begin with a 2-4 hour on-site session, followed by supporting book studies and access to Blue-Collar Leadership® Academy, so the training does not stop when we leave. Choose a package that fits your needs, budget, and aligns with how fast and how far you want to go.
1) A 30-minute Intro Call
We learn about your team, your challenges, and your goals.
2) Live, On-site Session
Most companies begin with 2 – 4 hours of training for the initial session.
3) Learn. Grow. Apply.
The live session is just the beginning. The Blue-Collar Leadership® books and Academy videos keep it from fading by next Friday. Behavior changes day to day, not in a day.
4) Improve Results.
Personal responsibility. Better leadership. Improved teamwork. Increased engagement.

“Ria and Mack have opened up a world for our team individually and collectively. The training brought out confidence and enthusiasm from persons who needed the opportunity to know that they were significant. They are hungry for more information about how to influence others and the momentum is rolling. Your genuine approach and authenticity make it safe to grow and learn. Thank you for what you have done for Cobb County.”
