Details
Your effectiveness as a professional depends in large part on your ability to influence and persuade others. Particularly in informal or leaderless settings, your skills as a communicator are your greatest asset.
KNP Communications co-founders Matt Kohut and Seth Pendleton are returning to lead a repeat performance of their highly regarded workshop designed to help you present yourself and your ideas in a compelling manner in your professional career. The workshop is inspired by research Matt did with Amy Cuddy (see HBR, "Connect, Then Lead").
This workshop will have three components:
1. A brief pre-work video exercise
2. Interactive, group skill-building workshop (2 hours)
3. A one-on-one coaching session with a KNP coach (20 minutes)
KNP has worked with Nobel Prize and Academy Award winners, Senators and Governors, CEOs and best-selling authors, NASA scientists and TED talkers, and ambassadors and entrepreneurs.
We're confident that you will find this program highly engaging and practical.
Please note that by signing up, you're committing to all three components of the program. We'll follow up with a confirmation and directions for completing the pre-work video and signing up for your 1:1 coaching session.
