Who do you know who might know someone who could SEE a benefit in CLEARLY sharing their ideas and stand out from the crowd as a key project manager? Or, do you simply wish you as a project manager could persuade stormtroopers these are not the 'droids they're looking for?
Would you as a project manager like to influence how others perceive you when networking, leading teams or interviewing? In this interactive (that means audience participation!) session we’ll cover:
* Why this works
* Simple, verbal techniques to build rapport fast
* Practice on how to build and break rapport (helpful to keep discussions concise!)
Come learn some simple, yet subtle techniques to shift communication effectiveness by a factor of 5 or more. And while participants are advised away from initial use with stormtroopers; VCs, angels, executives and clients are fair game.
