PG Skills: Influencing, persuading and negotiating for professional success

Being able to successfully influence, negotiate and persuade is incredibly useful and sometimes vital in a job. These are some of the top skills employers are looking for during recruitment, yet they often struggle to find candidates who demonstrate them. Therefore it could be beneficial for you to not only understand how to utilise these skills, but also know how to evidence them.

In this interactive workshop alum Rob Pilbrow, Global Managing Director of Medical Writing at OPEN Health will provide insight and training and you will get the chance to have a go at testing your powers of persuasion. 

This event will take place online via the Conferences section of the PG Skills Canvas course.
