Influence: The Art & Science of Changing Minds

November 27 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

How do you move someone to not only listen to your ideas, but also embrace and even champion them?

Please note: This course will not be added to Courses on Demand.  Courses involving professional speakers and skills-based workshops generally do not get added to Courses on Demand.

Who should attend: Lawyers; this course may also be of interest to paralegals and legal support staff

Learning level: All levels

Acceptance and buy-in begins with engagement and an understanding of the drivers of persuasion, how people make decisions, and what motivates them to act.

This interactive program draws on the latest scientific research to illustrate how you can influence clients and colleagues to see things your way without being heavy-handed. INFLUENCE teaches you what to do and why, and gives you practical ideas you can apply right away.

Additionally, you will learn to:

  • harness the two elements you need to win over a skeptical mind
  • utilize the four drivers of persuasion to gain buy-in
  • overcome the common mistakes most lawyers make when trying to change someone’s mind
  • leave much of the conventional wisdom about influence behind (because most of it doesn’t work)

Law Society of BC CPD Hours: 3 hours (this course does not contain professional responsibility and ethics, client care and relations, and/or practice management)
