About the course
Have you ever wanted to go back in time to change how a situation or conversation played out? What would you do differently to create a better, more productive result? On this course, you will get to do exactly that and learn from our faculty who have mastered the art of influencing in the workplace as consultants, directors, and vice presidents-long before they became academics.
