It’s a skill.
Whether it’s at home with your partner or friends, or in business with prospective clients and colleagues.
Understanding the mechanics of persuasion and the subtle sciences at play can be both fascinating and very productive for your business.
If you ever wondered why you didn’t get more from that conversation or why that meeting didn’t go as you’d hoped, perhaps understanding what tools you already have at your disposal and how to use them might help…
We have brought together three very well respected and experienced keynote speakers. All of whom work with persuasive techniques every day in their fields. The three speakers will be sharing with you their experiences and their best practice so that you can take away real and effective techniques for improving your business.
