How to Persuade Anyone to Do Anything (well, almost!)

Getting your messages heard, believed, and acted on is a key business skill. Whether you’re in a leadership role, a salesperson, trying to get teams to work together, or to get buy-in for projects and resources, you need to be able to engage and persuade your colleagues and clients.

Making Networking Work

And yet almost no business has a “Networking Strategy” for growth, and many people avoid the idea of actively networking. This engaging session will give you all the skills you need to be a world-class networker and leave you excited and ready for your next networking opportunity.

The world is full of bad presentations and sales pitches, and they’re costing your business a fortune. Poor presentations waste people’s time, can slow down sales cycles and projects, add to endless pointless meetings and create confusion and procrastination. Worse, the presenter is often dull and flat and takes ages to get their point across (if they ever do!).
