From transitioning to a work-from-home environment to discussing policy changes to create more equity and inclusion, the last two years have raised a lot of opportunities for influence and persuasion. Our ability to influence change and create impact within our organizations is not dependent on our role or title, but instead on how effectively we communicate. In this episode, Nancy Murphy – a communications and influence expert – guides us through the skills we need to develop to be more persuasive in our organizations.

Nancy Murphy, founder and president of CSR Communications, is a trainer, speaker, advisor and mentor with a passion for teaching leaders of established organizations how to make change stick. She has worked with global nonprofits, foundations, Fortune 100 companies, local governments, and federal agencies.
