Leadership Training for Engineering Managers How to Influence Upward, Downward and Cross-Functionally at Work
Leadership Training for Engineering Managers How to Influence Upward, Downward and Cross-Functionally at Work is a seventeen-minute video from a leadership coaching channel for engineering managers. It presents the AEC framework for influencing a manager, a team or a colleague in another function, and covers showing appreciation, demonstrating empathy, building trust and starting small to gain momentum.
100% Free (unlimited): The video plays in full on YouTube with no account and no payment, and the description with its links is open to everyone. The channel also offers a free call, a newsletter and a mini masterclass, and none of them is needed to watch: the whole talk, from the framework to the closing summary, is in the video itself.
How It Helps Your Business English
The video runs sixteen and three-quarter minutes and works through the AEC framework step by step, with the coach explaining how to make a colleague feel appreciated, how to show empathy in a working conversation, and how to bring someone round to a shared goal. The description holds links to related videos of the channel on influence, listening and difficult conversations.
You watch the framework being explained, then listen again to the wording the coach uses for appreciation, empathy and agreement, which is the part you can reuse at work. Note those phrases in your own words and try them in one conversation with a manager and one with a colleague in another team. The related videos continue the same subject if you want more practice.
