How to Succeed In High Stakes Conversations

McClure Naismith
Thursday, 23 July 2015
5:30 pm – 7:00 pm (UK time)

There is a difference between a manager with ten years worth of experience and a manager with only one year's experience - this seminar will give you the tools to enable you to accelerate your ability and get the best out of others.

This talk is not about ‘talking proper' - it's about building your intuitions to talk more skilfully to get the job done. Just about everything you need to get done at work involves talking skilfully.

Whether you're selling a service, resolving conflict, managing high expectations, influencing stakeholders or negotiating a position, talking is the central tool. This work shop shares some tips and tools to succeed in high stakes conversations and the language skill of top performers.

Learning objectives

By attending this event members will be able to identify:
1. How language works and how to work it
2. How to manage, influence and change minds
3. How to hear more of what's being said
