This session will help you drive through professional roadblocks and navigate oncoming challenges by communicating more effectively. Persuasive communications skills are vital for expanding existing relationships and getting that "YES!" response you're striving for. Whether you’re discussing a controversial idea, pitching a product or offering a professional service, learning to be more persuasive is vital to reaching your destination. The speakers will help audience members customize their message to engage potential partners, listen with intention, negotiate desirable outcomes by asking the right questions and fully engage others to close the distance between their goals and their listener's mindset.
