AGENDA & TAKEAWAYS

This powerful lineup is a progression across three levels of influence:
- Shaping what people believe
- Shaping what people decide
- Shaping what institutions do

As the audience you will engage with our speakers in a panel discussion, with workshops around the concepts of influence, negotiation and persuasion with your host Noa Sheer.

The summit is for leaders looking to extend their own perspective, bring new thinking back to their team and consider the impact of influence across their organisations. It will provide an opportunity to engage with ideas, and experiences beyond the everyday demands of leadership.

Hosted by Noa Sheer and Sheer Negotiations

This event is designed and hosted by Noa Sheer, Principal of Sheer Negotiations, scholar-practitioner in the art of negotiation and influence, public speaker and co-author of Effective Negotiation: From Research to Results (Cambridge University Press).
