Effortlessly Influencing Through Storytelling

Join Janice Lao, Global ESG and Sustainability Expert and Adjunct MBA Faculty, Prescott College for this session on Effortlessly Influencing Through Storytelling. 

How might you influence someone when you don't feel you have a seat at the table? As a person of color myself, I have spoken to and advised executives and boards who don't look like me. How can you do that too?

In this session, you will:

1) understand different approaches to effortlessly influence people; 

2) identify the reasons of wanting to influence, and 

3) understand how to use storytelling techniques to build credibility and positively influence in the process.
