School of Influence is a learning platform by Dr Rakesh Godhwani, designed to help professionals build the skills that truly shape success at work: clarity, confidence, presence, and professional influence.
In today’s workplace, technical expertise alone is not enough. Careers grow when you can communicate your ideas clearly, assert yourself thoughtfully, and influence outcomes—whether you’re presenting to a room, leading a team, or navigating everyday conversations at work.
Yet many capable professionals struggle with:
- Panicking or freezing during important presentations
- Rambling in meetings instead of getting to the point
- Finding it hard to assert themselves with seniors or peers
- Struggling to lead conversations or guide a team with confidence
- Feeling overlooked despite doing good work
- Knowing what to say, but not how to say it effectively
These challenges are not about personality. They are about professional influence - a set of skills that can be learned, practiced, and strengthened over time.
The School of Influence app brings together structured learning, expert guidance, and real-world application to help you build influence where it matters most: in your everyday work.
