Online Influence

Are you curious about the science of influence and persuasion? Or simply want to gain confidence in your interpersonal relationships in the workplace or with family and friends? This short workshop is for you!

This interactive workshop is designed to help you understand how the skills of ‘influencers’ can be learned and practiced to deliver real results. Influence and persuasion is a science rather than an art. It is about being confident in your ideas and gaining trust and respect amongst your peers.

To enhance your experience, our Online Influence classes are limited to ten participants using Zoom.
