Convince like Consultants in International Meetings, Projects & Cooperations

Mastering Persuasion with Impact through Storytelling, Personal Branding and Energy for Success in International Business

Act like successful consultants! Your credibility to effectively convince and persuade with impact depends not only on your knowledgeable competencies, but also on more elusive characteristics such as your presence and your ability to understand the needs and culture of the people you are working with in the international business context. To convince others you need to be convinced in yourself. This seminar provides practical ideas and exercises for leading discussions and meetings, developing projects and facilitating cooperative efforts with multicultural teams and with international business partners. It also examines powerful tools and resources which heighten your ability to be successful and impactful, such as the use of storytelling, understanding the effect of personal branding, the power of your presence, the ability to create rapport and trust, and using energy management principles to activate your best self to achieve your goals. In the process, you will get to know yourself better, increase awareness and effectiveness in interaction with other cultures, and build confidence to be able to face every situation with ease and strength.
