ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, business leader or change agent, influencing the people around you is part of what you do every day. But what does it take to become a truly persuasive communicator? Are there techniques you can learn to become more adept at influencing others? Are there strategies you can use to re-frame your content in presentations and conversations in order to drive change, win over skeptics and turn inertia into action?
Drawing on the latest in neuroscience and psychology, this workshop teaches you how to master “the art of influence.” Employ our four-step methodology to prepare for your next high-stakes meeting, conversation, presentation or pitch, and you’ll see an immediate boost in your persuasiveness, executive presence, and ability to inspire and motivate others.
