This course was wonderful. Prior to attending I had always assumed that you were either influential or you weren't. Now I realise that being influential and impactful is not to do with job title, seniority or natural ability . It is about applying a set of skills and tools and this course gave me exactly that. I also loved that we worked on real situations and I have alreayd successfully delivered som e of the communications I prepared during the course and got a "Yes" response!
