On Wednesday this week, I was honoured with
the opportunity to present to the CFA Society in London on the topic of influencing styles. The
event was fully booked and evoked lively debate, with frequent allusions to particular
styles prevalent in Financial Services. Unfortunately, time did not allow
for full answers to all of the many questions which arose: so, to make up
for that I wanted to share some further reflections on the more prominent
questions which are worthy of serious consideration. Questions like...
- If you flex your style, will this make you
less credible/trustable/authentic?
- Are British people higher than the norm in Sociability and Networking?
- Do different styles suit different jobs?
- My determination score was much lower than I expected, why?
- What's involved in the other areas of influence you mentioned?
- How do I get my boss to listen to me? We're both very high on Sociability
and Networking.

If you have other questions which
you'd like more detailed answers to, please feel free to post them
here and I'll answer them as soon as I can.
We'd love to hear what you think about this. Please email us or visit us on
