Subject Line: Request to attend & expense Nov 13th Workshop

Hi [Manager’s Name],

I’m committed to growing my impact, especially as we collaborate across locations and time zones. I’d like approval to attend a 2-hour workshop led by Sacha Connor, CEO of Virtual Work Insider.

Workshop: How to Build Your Exposure & Influence Across Distance
Date: Nov 13, 2025
Time: 9:30-11:30am PT / 12:30–2:30pm ET
Format: Live, virtual session - only 26 seats
Investment: [input the cost]

Why this is a strong investment:
• Directly relevant to our hybrid and distributed work environment: Practical tactics to stay visible and influential across distance - without adding more meetings.
• Bias-busting: Research-backed methods to hack distance bias and recency bias so the right work gets seen by the right stakeholders.
• Immediate application: I’ll complete a 5-step exercise during the session and leave with a personalized 90-day Exposure & Influence Plan, with accountability follow-ups at 30/60/90 days.
• Cross-company perspective: I'll get small-group interaction with peers from other organizations to gather fresh approaches we can adopt.

How I’ll apply the learning:
• Within 2 weeks, I’ll share my sphere of influence map and my 90-day Virtual Exposure & Influence Plan for your input.
• I’ll report on my progress against my plan at 30, 60, and 90 days.

About the instructor: Sacha Connor is a leading expert in hybrid and distributed work. For the past 7 years, her programs have helped enterprise leaders (e.g., Sephora, Toyota, Optum, Allstate) improve visibility, collaboration, and results across distance.

Thanks for considering this request.
