Influence During Times of Uncertainty
In today’s uncertain environment, effective and ethical influence is necessary, pertinent, and now, more than ever, vital to success.
During this profound presentation, Dr. Robert Cialdini briefly reviews the six research-based universal principles of influence. He then focuses on those principles which are most effective under conditions of uncertainty. Those who learn how to apply these principles gain powerful leverage to bring about positive and lasting change in others, both inside and outside of their organization.
Leadership Through the Power of Persuasion
It is through the influence process that we lead, generate, and manage change. Like most things, the process can be handled poorly or well. It can be employed to foster growth and to move people away from negative choices and in more positive directions, thereby creating the conditions for new opportunities. Or, it can be used clumsily, reducing the chance for genuine movement and, in the worst of cases, boomeranging into conflict and resentment.
Pre-Suasion: Opening the Door to Persuasion
The author of the legendary best-seller Influence, social psychologist Robert Cialdini shines a light on effective persuasion and reveals that the secret doesn’t lie in the message itself, but in the key moment before that message is delivered. What separates ordinary communicators from truly successful persuaders?
Influence Regained: Building Human Connection into a Digital World
More than ever before, we are existing separately from one another. Increasingly, we work online, and separate from one another there. We shop online more than ever, and separate from one another there, too. The same is true for how we inform or educate ourselves and how we consume entertainment by simply clicking on sites that provide it, with little or no human interaction before, during, or after.
