Violence and how we can tackle it in our communities with Graham Goulden

Graham is a former Chief Inspector with Police Scotland, and he spent the last part of his 30 years of service working on the violence reduction unit. He's now a consultant trainer. His interest in developing personal and organisational brands and how individual and societal attitudes and behaviour often negatively impact reputation performance, absenteeism recruitment and retention. Graham has experienced delivering bystander training in a host of establishments, including schools, universities and workplaces. He's the director of cultivating minds in the UK and states it's all about relationships.

We need to move into this conversation where we start with how we influence people in our communities to come along with us?  This is not about saying 'we are going to do this, you need to come with us'.  More and more, I  have thought about prevention; it's about how we will be persuading people to go with us?  For men, how are persuading them to take this role as leaders?  How are we going to persuade communities to follow us and work with them and take some proactive action, for me, we need to look at the science of persuasion.
