About this course:

This step-by-step course shows you how to craft your message in the most persuasive way possible. You'll learn how to bring listeners along with you on the journey from Point A to Point B to change their minds and/or behaviors. 

The course was created with people like experienced professionals, emerging leaders, small business owners, entrepreneurs who have to meet with potential clients, non-profit advocates who want to raise awareness or support, and anybody who needs to convince internal stakeholders to partner with them on their important projects.

The lessons can be applied to various communication situations like public speaking messages, group meetings, and one-on-one conversations. 

Please note: The course is not about how you actually stand up and present live and in the moment. It's about how you craft and shape your message beforehand so it has maximum impact. 

Additionally, the course is not about sales, "hard selling," or any type of closing sales techniques. In fact, quite the opposite. The course teaches good, fundamental principles of ethical persuasion that everyday professionals can use with integrity.
