Influence isn’t manipulation, it’s a strategic service. This talk unpacks the science of persuasion, emotional intelligence, and office politics, equipping you to move ideas from concept to consensus. You’ll learn to:
- map stakeholder agendas,
- frame data as compelling stories,
- activate social proof,
- calibrate tone to any audience.
We’ll cover trust‑building micro‑behaviors, scarcity and timing cues, and deliberate networking that multiplies allies. Walk away ready to secure resources, steer meetings, and inspire follow‑through across functions and cultures.
