Persuasion and influencing are terms that are usually associated with books on psychology, sales or advertisement. We forget or live without being aware that virtually every day in our private and professional life, we persuade and influence someone more or less effectively. We convince the boss to our ideas, the co-worker to our concepts during brainstorming sessions or the different point of views when talking to our partner in terms of holidays or what film to watch, or we convince our children to clean up their room or do homework. The effectiveness will not always be at the desired level so it is worth learning the principles of influencing others to do it with more awareness.
Often, persuasion is mistaken for manipulation. The techniques are similar but the latter assumes a negative effect for the person being influenced. During this course, we will show you how to use knowledge of the psychology of social impact in an ethical way.
