The RSA is all about making an impact. But how? There are many ways to make a difference. 

One of the ‘master keys’ thought is influencing others and looking at different approaches to persuade them to your way of thinking. We are pleased to be working with Archetypical Director and South East Fellow Stephen Welch FRSA to explore new ideas and approaches to making an impact by influencing others. 

At this interactive workshop, will be co-creating a new model of influence and impact: we call it PERSUADE. Each of the 8 letters represents one key influencing style that you can use to make an impact. PERSUADE is designed to help you translate ideas into action and get others to see your point of view … and act accordingly. Knowing the 8 influencing styles will help you adapt your approach as needed. You will be able to recognise what your audience wants and then use that know-how to increase your chances of success. 

You will get a chance to explore the model, learn the 8 key styles, build your own version, and play some games designed to improve your influencing skills … and make an impact on your organization, your colleagues, and your career.   

Tickets are free but registration is essential.
