This 90-minute 'live' e-class is suitable for anyone who wants and needs to influence others as part of their role. This may include influencing clients, your peers, your manager or other stakeholders.

We all need to influence and persuade others, but most of us have a limited range of strategies, so we’re not effective in certain situations or with certain people. But this is a skill that can be learnt – an essential skill for anyone in business. This interactive and engaging e-class will give you practical tools and techniques you can use immediately to get others to say ‘yes’ more often, to buy in to your ideas and to give you commitment.
