About This Session

Who do you know who might know someone who could SEE a benefit in CLEARLY sharing their ideas? Or, do you simply wish you could persuade stormtroopers these are not the 'droids they're looking for?

Would you like to influence how others perceive you in interviews, when networking or working in pairs and teams? 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.
