Conversations that Convert: Strategies to Influence and Persuade - Shakira M. Brown


This event qualifies for 1 CEUs


Being a government meeting professional comes with a myriad of communication responsibilities. To move any effort along, it is essential for everyone to communicate as clearly as possible – especially with decision-makers. Failure to properly communicate in any setting may frequently end in a failed result. This is where being an effective communicator becomes an essential asset.

During this presentation, award-winning branding and communication strategist, Shakira M. Brown, will provide strategies for the variety of communication challenges government meeting professionals face. Brown will examine conversation techniques that can be used to strengthen relationships and breakthrough to utterly resistant partners and stakeholders. Participants will learn effective ways for communicating on tough issues, as well as powerful methods to influence and persuade to take meeting planning to new heights.

Learning Outcomes:
1. Employ techniques to leverage influential and persuasive communication—for any situation
2. Proactively communicate to position your work plans for maximum success.
3. Implement strategies for navigating touchy situations, with specific words to avoid and phrases to use
4. Recognize nonverbal barriers to communication (that you likely didn't even know were there!)
