Trinidad Wiseman Office, Brainery Room, 4th Floor, Meistri 14, Tallinn

Turn your team into persuasive advocates within your organisation. You know this moment: you're explaining an important issue to the bosses. But you get lost in the details, you're talking too much… you get the feeling they're listening but not understanding. All you get back is blank stares! Let's turn that confusing mess into clarity with habits, not theory. Come learn the ABCC's of strategic storytelling, and start influencing hearts and minds.

Open speaker Ben Sauer

Data Psychology Masterclass (3-4h)

November 21, 2024 at 10:00

What do you know about your customers, really? You probably have data on them, but what does it really tell you? Well, quite a lot, if you know what you’re doing. Through the power of data psychology, you can take the dry business of data and turn it into empathetic human insight, and thus sales.

Open speaker Patrick Fagan
