LEADERSHIP CONSULTANT, KAREN MATHEWS IS SPEAKING AT CSIX CONNECT MEETING MAY 16, 2006 IN CUPERTINO, CA

Santa Clara, CA – May 9, 2006 – Karen Mathews & Associates founder and President, Karen Mathews will be speaking on May 16 at the CSIX Connect meeting on “The Power of Influence – 3 secrets of an effective personal style.” Through humor, story telling and contrasting different styles, Karen Mathews makes her point of using influence purposefully in business to achieve the results we want. She shares three secret convincer strategies with the audience.

“Having the ability to be deliberate, leverage my own style of influence and incorporating techniques that make me effective in stressful circumstances is very appealing. I think the membership will be reminded of something that they have forgotten and get new learning about how to be persuasive with more ease.” said Program Director of CSIX Connect, Pamela Livingston about the upcoming talk.

Many of us exert influence in every interaction we engage in but have little appreciation of that fact. We have little understanding of how to use it fully and don’t get that we under utilize our influence when it matters most. When influence is exercised deliberately with awareness it can be an effective and powerful tool. During this talk Karen Mathews will share with the audience techniques for improving their style of influence so that it can be used naturally, with ease - even in challenging settings and to become more persuasive without negative effects.
