Event: Persuasive Communication Masterclass in UCD Smurfit Business School (Dublin)

Persuasive Communication Masterclass, Dublin, 3 April

Sold out – As of 13 March, this course is completely sold out.  

I will be teaching a full day Persuasive Communication Masterclass in Dublin on 3rd April.  The class is part of the UCD Smurfit Masterclass series.

UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate School of Business is Ireland’s leading business school.  I am looking forward to spending a day in Dublin on their beautiful campus.

The brochure for the full day course is downloadable here.

I’m Irish, but I have lived outside of Ireland since I was 14 years old.  That is more than half my life.  I have always felt a desire to reconnect with Dublin and the business life of Dublin.  I am really happy to have this opportunity to build a relationship with UCD Smurfit Business School, and with the business community of Dublin.
