The only course on the ethical application of influence actually endorsed by Dr. Cialdini, the Principles of Persuasion (POP) Workshop is an inspiring, innovative and invaluable session for anyone seeking to improve effectiveness and productivity.

Based on his pioneering book, Influence: Science and Practice, the two-day workshop demonstrates how to ethically apply Dr. Cialdini's six principles to produce lasting change and avoid common influence traps.  It teaches strategies on how to create and maintain trusted relationships, how to avoid bungling away critical "moments of power" and interactively shows how small, strategic changes can yield lasting results.


"The Principles of Ethical Influence, as taught by Bob Cialdini, needs to be a part of every salesperson's toolkit. What strikes me is not only the simplicity of his message but the power it provides in practice."
R. CRAIG WILSON, Sr. Vice President, Sales Manager
Northern Trust
"Dr. Cialdini held our audience spellbound for hours. His advice was both strategic and practical, and was geared perfectly for our audience from about 40 countries. His principles were put into practice by the delegates immediately."

"Dr. Cialdini's program was the best I have taken in 25 years of taking courses. Not a day goes by that I don't apply one or more of the principles in my work and with my family. This material is like a hidden gem which I am glad that I discovered!"
