KEYNOTE What percentage of your day would you say you are actively attempting to influence…persuade…negotiate with others?  We are living in a world fraught with strongly felt differences that end up in conflict, and the intuitive path for most of us whether in business or our personal relationships is to win even at the expense of others. The road from confrontation to agreement is not the elimination of these differences…that is not even possible.  So, how do you go about winning the co-operation of others in an environment of strongly felt differences…winning others over vs. winning over others?  The answer is by understanding, mastering, and implementing the principles of influence: persuasion…leadership…negotiation. 1–1.5 hours

• Delivery options
• Involvement options
• Clear and close of the “loop”
• Re-engagement … on the next subtopic
