The Art of Conversation

How do you "have impact" on those with whom you interact? Impact comes from how communications flow between ourselves and others, what we say and don't say, and how we build a conversation together. Professor Wortmann will discuss some of the key tools he uses in his Entrepreneurial Selling course to provide students with both skill and discipline in their communications.
