Expanding Your Influence: Understanding the Psychology of Persuasion On-Site Training
Discover the secrets of great influencers
Course Description/Agenda
Expanding your influence requires insights that go beyond the actual process
of influencing—and into the psychology of what truly prompts us to say yes
or no.
In this 2-day course you’ll uncover persuasion techniques that most people
don’t even know exist. You’ll learn how to build your influence by applying
these psychological principles to any number of business interactions from

your ideas. In addition, you will learn how to choose the best principle for
any given situation and learn to listen more critically to other people’s
persuasive arguments.
