Influencing Senior Stakeholders

Imagine... you’ve just been asked to present your latest project or idea to the executive team. It might be next month; it might be next week; it might be... tomorrow. After your initial reaction subsides (panic? excitement?), what will you do to prepare? You’ll discover mindsets and techniques to help you stand out in front of any senior audience (internal and external), persuade them to take action, and handle challenging questions and objections. You’ll be prepared to confidently communicate your ideas and work to audiences of any seniority level... any time.
