win the day through my verve and eloquence (or eloquence & drive)

This person is trying to sell himself, so we need to look behind the words.
"emporter des décisions" can only mean "make people decide in his favour" or in favour of the product or concept he is selling/promoting

"dynamisme" must refer to his lively, proactive presentations, his verve, his forceful personality (but you can't say that for fear of it sounding as though he were pushy)

"maîtrise du verbe" = he is good with words

you could say - bring people round to my way of thinking/get them on side, or even "sell my ideas"

I am good at making my arguments convincing thanks to my enthusiasm and eloquence
