Course description: 

Organizational resources are scarcer than ever and people are under increasing pressure to get things done even when they lack the authority or positional power to “make it happen.” Fortunately, there has been great progress discovering and implementing a variety of psychological techniques to influence without authority. 
Participants in this course learn and apply well-established influence and persuasion research from Cialdini, Cohen & Bradford, and others to common workplace situations. These well-tested practical techniques can be applied to everyday situations where positive influence is the best way to get things done. 
Participants also explore how their existing influence strategy preferences impact their effectiveness. They then use this self-awareness to develop strategies for adapting their approach to increase rapport, improve communication and build relationships. Throughout this highly interactive course participants will apply the theories and models to relevant job-related situations. Participants learn how to build better trust and rapport with others so that they can collectively achieve successful outcomes.
