What makes some people more influential than others? What tactics can you use to increase your influence, power and leadership presence? Learn the secrets of making a strong personal impact at this evening class with Dr Connson Locke, senior lecturer at London School of Economics and Political Science.
Following our hugely successful one-day MBA, where Connson wowed the audience with her lecture on nonverbal communication, we invited her to deliver her own evening class.
In the first half of the class, you’ll learn about the latest research on leadership, power and nonverbal communication. Connson will explore the signals that contribute to perceptions of charisma and confidence, as well as the challenges people – and women in particular – face in leadership positions.
During the second half of the evening, you’ll 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.
