Mastering Influence: An Introduction to the subtleties of Persuasion

Info
In the midst of an increasingly complex and uncertain world, individuals are taking greater initiative in shaping their own futures. Whether seeking to advance your career, explore global opportunities, or transition into a new industry, developing and expanding your skills, experience, and network has become essential.
 

This masterclass will help you learn ways to influence and shape the decisions of others. Drawing on insights from behavioral sciences—and using experiments, real-life examples, and interactive discussions—we will introduce the science of manipulation.

 The discussion will focus on the following:
1. As a regional manager of a car manufacturer, you are tasked with gaining more market share from a major competitor.
2. As an executive, you are applying for a promotion, but a strong competitor is also vying for the same position.
3. As a government, you are trying to persuade the public to adopt healthier behaviors.
