Palais Brongniart

Sponsored by *Keith ’91 and Janet Sherin

Senior leaders are required to create partnerships with a wide range of stakeholders. However, the ability to communicate our perspective effectively is often outpaced by the sheer volume of information available. How do you make sure that your message influences and persuades against a backdrop of informational ‘white noise’? Join this session for insights into making your requests exponentially more effective, and improve your influence within a professional and personal context.
