The art and science of pitching and persuading Thursday, 17th May 10.30 – 12.30.
Free for members, £25 for non-members We all need to persuade people. Whether it’s a business pitch or a job interview, we eventually get to a point where we have to fall back on the spoken word and our personality to achieve what we want. This two-hour session, led by Debrett’s Academy director Rupert Wesson, will explain how we can all be better at it. Using the latest research in behavioural and neuroscience, along with some simple oratorical techniques, he will show you how to state your case persuasively.
The Network Effect – harnessing the power of your network Monday, 21st May 10.30 – 12.30.
Free for members, £25 for non-members Networking is a key door opener to new possibilities and new opportunities, both personal and professional, yet many of us find the process daunting and difficult. But if you understand how networks work, you’ll be able to capitalise on your communication skills so that you don’t waste opportunities or, worse still, don’t even recognise them. Learn the art of networking effectively from Judith Perle, co-founder of Management Advantage and co-author of The Network Effect. Back by popular demand this seminar will examine the whys and hows of networking and decode the mechanics of how networking really works in this country.
