You're a busy person. Sometimes you need to ask people to do things for you, other times you need to help them understand things, or persuade them. Ideally, you'd like to be able to do this just once and not have to keep on reminding them!

But as you probably know from experience, getting people to understand, agree with you, and take action, is not always that simple.

This is why we need to master The Art of Explanation.

In this workshop, Jamie Dixon will share with you tools, principles and techniques to help you master The Art of Explanation. And once you've mastered them, you will be able to successfully ask people to do things for you, help them understand things, and persuade them, all in one go!
