As we settle into new rhythms and home-working habits, it is arguably more important than ever before to learn how you can equip yourself with influence, power and leadership presence, to steer your team or project remotely, and inspire motivation into the next phase.
In this webinar with Professor Connson Locke, professorial lecturer at London School of Economics and Political Science, you will learn what makes some people more influential than others, as well as the secrets of making a strong personal impact.
Connson will take you through the latest research on leadership, power and nonverbal communication, and the signals that contribute to perceptions of charisma and confidence, as well as the challenges people – and women in particular – face in leadership positions. You will also be encouraged to get involved in practical activities, where you’ll apply the research to your personal situation.
Relevant for men and women alike, this is the ideal class for anyone who wants to boost their leadership presence or personal impact at their workplace or in their personal life.
You will be sent a link to the webinar 1hr before the start time of 7pm (BST).
