Building on the resounding success of our 2026 summit, The Next Move is Yours 2027 returns as an unmissable, high-impact forum for senior leaders and ambitious professionals. Now inviting both women and men to our next summit.
How do you shape decisions when you cannot simply rely on authority?
This summit is a high-calibre executive learning experience, built around three exceptional perspectives on influence, with Noa Sheer connecting the ideas to the realities of leadership and negotiation.
This is a rare opportunity to hear three experts approaching influence from three distinct, complementary perspectives: Learn how they think, understand how they approach difficult decisions, and question them directly.
The central promise: Access to exceptional thinking and practical insights. Understand how influence is built, how decisions are shaped, and how leaders turn ideas into outcomes.
Our central question, the difference between authority and influence is particularly relevant to executives who already have responsibility and expertise but need to move decisions, build alignment and influence stakeholders.
The Next Move is Yours.
