Chris Cibbarelli  
Sales Director

An IAW associate since 2002, Chris Cibbarelli is known by her clients as a “business partner” and a proven resource when it comes to successful programs. Chris joined IAW with rich experience in customer management. Besides being named multiple times to the President's Club, Chris developed a strong following because of her energy, insightfulness, magnetic joy and customer-oriented approach. Raised in Nebraska and Arizona, Chris has spent a good portion of her life doing exactly what she wants; helping people reach their goals. If asked, the favorite part of her day is interacting with a wide variety of clients; whether emailing a client in Dubai or teleconferencing with a trainer in Australia, she is happiest getting to know someone who is new to Dr. Cialdini’s research. At home, Chris shares her life with her husband, Shawn, her young son, Cayman, and her two Boston Terriers, Bond and Deuce. She enjoys traveling to tropical destinations, although does not like Pina Coladas or getting caught in the rain!

Noah Goldstein, Ph.D.  
Senior Consultant and Inside Influence Report Lead Writer

Dr. Noah J. Goldstein is a faculty member at The University of Chicago Graduate School of Business. After graduating With Distinction from Cornell University, he received his doctoral degree in psychology at Arizona State University, where he studied under the mentorship of Dr. Robert B. Cialdini.

Dr. Goldstein's academic research and writing have been published in many of the premier scholarly outlets in psychology and business, including the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Psychological Science, Annual Review of Psychology, and Sloan Management Review. He has been awarded research fellowships and grants from several U. S. government institutions, including the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. In addition, he has consulted for a number of corporate and government organizations, including Accenture, the United States Census Bureau, and United States Forest Service.

He is also the first author of Yes!, a forthcoming book that is co-written with Dr. Cialdini and Steve J. Martin. Often venturing beyond the six principles of Dr. Cialdini's million-selling Influence: Science and Practice, the book is devoted to furthering people's understanding of the psychology of persuasion, and to prescribing persuasion strategies that are both ethical and scientifically proven to be effective. The strategies discussed in this book can easily be applied by almost anyone in almost any field, including management, marketing, negotiations, sales, law, education, policy, medicine, service, eBay, and parenting.
