• Choose your actions to emphasise your gravitas
• Look the part
• Choose what you say to give your ideas impact

Requirements

• You won't need anything before you start this course...
• But you will want to find some work and social situations to try out these methods as soon as you can.

Target audience

• This course is for you, if you want to be taken seriously
• It is for you, if you want others to trust your judgement
• It is for you, if you notice people switch off, when you speak
• ...but it is not for people who want to be the life and soul of the party, the class clown, or be constantly trying hard to dominate
• Instead, it is for you, if you want to dominate quietly, without seeming to try.
