Expanding Your Influence: Understanding the Psychology of Persuasion

  • Leadership
  • Course Code: 32204

Discover the secrets of great influencers

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.

Learn 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 managing, to negotiating, to giving presentations in which you need to sell 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.

    The course included examples which were very real and applicable. The exercises were fun and helped to reinforce the material taught. Joline was real and approachable. She hared her personal experiences with some of the situations to which the course topics could be applied and so gave the issues more meaning. Everyone at CMC was friendly, welcoming and competent in addressing all my needs.

  • Lucy Pacheco, IIROC Nov 15, 2018

    I understand the course was reduced to 2 days. There was not sufficient time to discuss real situations with the amount of content required to cover. Our Facilitator was very positive and engaging. She made everyone feel comfortable to share experiences. I really enjoyed the conference and experience at CMC. The facilitator was excellent as were the resource materials and additional reading references provided throughout the day.
