Scaling Your Influence: Adopting the Four Thinking Mindsets with Blanca Garcia Gil

Enhance your ability to influence without authority

This interactive workshop empowers StaffPlus engineers to amplify their influence and create adaptive, growth-oriented engineering environments.

Participants will explore four thinking mindsets—Solutioning, Bridging, Resolving, and Learning—derived from diverse fields like software consulting and professional coaching. The workshop aims to equip engineers with practical strategies to improve leadership skills, drive initiatives, increase their influence and mentor effectively. 

Interactive elements include self-reflection exercises, small group discussions on applying mindsets to work situations, role-playing scenarios to practice mindset switching, and action planning for implementing new strategies. This hands-on approach ensures participants not only understand the four thinking mindsets, but also gain practical experience in applying them to real-world engineering challenges.

By the end, attendees will identify their default mindset, assess situational needs, and switch between mindsets to better support colleagues.

Who is this workshop for?

  • Senior individual contributors without formal management responsibilities (senior, staff, principal engineers or technical architects)
  • Ideal participants are looking to improve their communication skills and broaden their impact within their organisations. Leverage your impact using your coding and engineering skills.
