KEYNOTE TOPIC
The Art of Influence
How to move people — in a meeting room, on a stage, or across a negotiating table.
Why This Matters Now
Influence is the master skill of professional life. It determines who gets the budget, who gets the promotion, whose ideas get adopted, and whose career advances. Yet most professionals never deliberately study it.
Mukesh Tyagi has spent his career in environments where influence was everything — film sets where directors move actors through energy and intention, boardrooms where the best idea rarely wins unless it's well argued, and television studios where you have ninety seconds to shift a viewer's opinion. This talk distils those lessons into a practical framework for everyday professional influence.
