>>Hi all,

>>I'm looking for an expert on "developing and exercising influence."
>>
>>Context: "developing and exercising influence" is the professional
>>development topic at a forthcoming management team retreat. Participants
>>will be managers; their education is as economists and financial analysts.
>>These managers work with, and attempt to influence, senior officials in a
>>number of external organizations on public policy matters The managers
>>are
>>highly educated and evidence-minded.
>>
>>The expert would be comfortable presenting to such an audience. He / she
>>would be credible, engaging and (of course!) influential. He / she would
>>understand something about public policy formulation, and preferably
>>something about collaboration among organizations.
>>
>>Any Chatelain(e)s know of such a person? From something you've read or a
>>conference you've attended?
>>
>>Thanks for any help.
