This session starts with research garnered by presenters in the area of influence and presentation to executives; this is followed by a group or small group discussion applying research tenets to personal experiences. Presenters lead a brief, interactive situation where participants are able to experience the executive and influencer roles with hands-on practice. This is interwoven with modeling by presenters and illustrations of key concepts using Power Point sparingly. Follow up:A one month free follow up tele-seminar will be offered for all attendees for added ideas and in order to discuss issues that arise. In addition we will have each participant fill out an action plan for themselves, they will place it in a sealed envelope and we will mail it to them just prior to the teleseminar as a reminder of the action they wanted to take. ( or they may select an e-mail notification instead.)
