Secrets of Persuasive Communication in the Virtual Classroom: Evidence-based Principles to Grow Your Irresistible Influence
Given the rapid pace of business, which often requires us to change direction on the fly, how do you craft a message quickly to persuade others to act differently or believe in something? Even more challenging, how do you communicate persuasively when people can’t even see you? This session will show how to achieve maximum persuasive impact with your words.
You will learn research-proven principles for influential communication by answering questions such as:
- How do I tap into the concept of social proof to solidify the credibility of my message in a blind medium?
- How do I combine logic and emotion for the perfect persuasive balance?
- Do I use logic or emotion first?
- What phrases weaken my message?
- What other research-based principles can help me be persuasive when others may be multitasking?
- What are some of the most persuasive phrases in the English language? (The answer will surprise you).
The best part is you can use these principles face-to-face or online, whether you train or inform. Join us to learn practical techniques to get any audience to act and to consider you worthy of their attention. Come and learn how to be irresistible, even from a distance.
