Abstract: With increasing diversity of opinion and thinking coupled with a decreasing respect for authority and control, the ability to influence others is becoming more and more challenging both in our personal lives and in our work. In this webinar, we will discuss the skill of Influencing and highlight areas where we might want to focus in order to strengthen our Influencing capability. The emphasis will be on developing our influencing capability within the context of collaboration wherein authority and control are not always present. This will be the first of the two series talk with very interconnected topic like Negotiation to cover in February & March, 2018.
