Influence without Authority: how to get Commitment, not just Compliance

A title gets you compliance, it never gets you commitment.

International Hub of PWN Paris invites you for a fireside chat with Claire Wang – a senior professional who spent 20 years in pricing strategy across banking, telecoms and tech — in Asia, the Middle East and Europe — and her career taught her one thing above all: good ideas don't fail on logic, they fail because they ignore what the other person values and needs.

The clearer the value is to the other person, the less force you need. Influence is an invitation, not a push — and it begins with what they actually want, not what we assume they want.

Why attend?

Because leadership today is rarely a matter of hierarchy. If you lead a business or a team and want genuine engagement — not just execution — this conversation is for you.

What you'll gain:

  • What two decades of pricing revealed about human nature
  • "Be more assertive, push harder". Should we take it?
  • Empathy: soft skill, or strategic weapon? And can it be learnt?
  • How to put your value on the table — without feeling you're selling yourself
  • Rebuilding in a new city, without a title or a network: what does influence look like when you have neither?

Plus: one thing you can try on Monday morning. No theory without practice.
