WISE Luncheon
The Secrets of Persuasion

The Allen Chamber of Commerce

Women In Support of Enterprise

Quarterly Luncheon


A new program created to reach out to female members of the chamber and to empower women to become better leaders.  W.I.S.E. luncheons are held on a quarterly basis featuring speakers that will provide the resources and tools necessary for professional and personal success. 

The Secrets of Persuasion

How much easier would your life be if you could persuade others? Every day, women must persuade everyone from managers to subordinates and spouses to children. Your business success depends on your ability to persuade others to do something. When you learn the secrets of persuasion, it will be easier for you to persuade other people. Maura's presentation will show you how to master the secrets of persuasion so you can create and manage relationships that are productive, joyful and satisfying.
