“Titus Maccius Plautus, a roman poet/philosopher, famously said “You have to spend money to make money.” Principles of Persuasion was the best investment I ever made in myself. It is day five since completing the POP Workshop held by Carol Perriccio. The tools Carol gave me helped to diffuse a misunderstanding within my company this week. Her action plan worksheet introduced me to a new approach for getting active volunteers, on the board of a nonprofit, to be publicly held accountable for their yearly commitments. Priceless. Networking with the other women, who are in a variety of businesses, at the workshop has given me the opportunity to hear new ideas based on their learning of POP. This has translated in to a significant savings on a marketing campaign I am now looking to launch. Wow, How to turn a negative review into an opportunity has given value to my business to reconnect with those by using a different approach to communicating. I could continue on but you need to find out the rest for yourself.”
– Lisa Cotter, Owner Delta Plus Management Company

The Principles of Persuasion workshop lays out the process for incorporating the six principles of persuasion into your daily life to produce real results.

The tools I now possess as a result of attending this workshop are invaluable to me both personally and professionally.”
