The Influence Equation Workshop
Do you want to boost your ability to influence others? Are you sometimes looking for techniques to help positively impact your students, colleagues, family members, or friends?
This interactive workshop will examine influence as an equation – the result of two opposing forces: persuasion and resistance. We will take a close look at the approaches you currently use to influence those around you – when talking “up” to superiors; trying to engage peers, family members, students, or even students' parents; and partnering with colleagues. You will learn a menu of strategies that will improve your ability to develop stronger relationships in order to influence those around you to work together to achieve common goals.

Stevenson Carlebach
We are honored to have Stevenson Carlebach donate his time and talent to develop ambitious and talented teachers as leaders. As principal of Eque LLC, Stevenson designs and creates programs in influence, difficult conversations, negotiation, giving and receiving feedback...all essential skills of leadership. He believes that understanding the neuroscience behind conflict and communication challenges helps participants develop new skills to handle tough situations and difficult people.
Stevenson is associate faculty at Harvard Law School’s Program on Negotiation (PON) where he teaches Mediation and Conflict Resolution. He was adjunct professor teaching Negotiation at the Georgetown School of Law. Before coming into the field of conflict resolution, Stevenson was associate professor and chair of the Theater Department at Connecticut College. There he was awarded outstanding teacher of the year by the Student Government Association. At Connecticut College he founded the Holleran Center for Community Action and Public Policy, a multidisciplinary academic center that advances service learning, research and community collaboration.
In the public sector, he has worked with a range of clients including The White House and the Pentagon. He has also taught negotiation and difficult conversations at UNAIDS in Geneva. For the past six years, he has been working with the Department of Health of Western Australia focusing on improving leadership skills. Closer to home, he has been part of Hartford Hospital’s leadership program.
In the private sector his work focuses on strategic relationship management. He has worked with scores of Fortune 500 corporations in the US and abroad, such as Capital One, Merck, Pfizer, Tufts Health Plan, Goldman Sachs, The Cambridge Group, IBM, PWC, The MathWorks, Millennium Pharmaceuticals and Deutsche Bank to name a few. Stevenson is a graduate of Tufts University where he majored in classics and the Boston University School for the Arts where he received his Masters of Fine Arts in Directing. With six children (including two teen-aged boys and twin nine-year-olds) Stevenson hopes that he will learn to practice at home what he teaches on the road.
