Influence Training Opportunities

Deirdre McCloskey, Professor of Economics at the University of Illinois at Chicago, researched the impact of persuasion on the U.S. economy in the 1990s. In her book Knowledge and Persuasion in Economics she built the case that this one skill – persuasion – is responsible for 25% of our national income. More than 25 years since her book came out, with the proliferation of the internet, some estimate that figure at closer to 30% now.

With so much at stake it’s critical that you and your organization understand how to ethically influence people in the most effective ways possible. That’s where the science of influence comes in. Did you know there are more than seven decades of research into this area? I’ll teach you the science, and more importantly, how to apply it in ways that can make an immediate difference for you and your organization.

Listening STARS

It’s no secret that the best communicators enjoy the most success. There’s a premium put on speaking and writing but listening is perhaps the most underdeveloped communication skill.
