About Influence at Work

The ability to influence has never been more important. Whether you’re leading change, securing buy-in or motivating a team, success depends less on authority and more on your ability to capture attention, build trust and inspire action.

Drawing on his latest book, Influence at Work, behavioural scientist Steve Martin reveals the evidence-based principles that help leaders communicate more effectively and persuade ethically. Combining behavioural science with practical workplace examples, he’ll show how small changes in the way we engage with others can have a powerful impact on outcomes.

Whether you’re presenting ideas, negotiating with stakeholders or leading through uncertainty, you’ll leave with practical techniques you can apply immediately to become a more influential and effective leader.
