If you want to achieve more success at work, it’s critical to develop key social skills like influence. This course introduces you to actionable personal growth strategies that come from scientific research in psychology and behavioral science. Importantly, I’ve kept things simple and to the point without sacrificing quality and scientific accuracy.
When you take the time to understand and apply these strategies, you’ll begin to…
Develop a reputation that maximizes your influence
Build strong relationships with clients, coworkers, and supervisors
Use rapport-building techniques to achieve greater presence
This course also includes exercises that will help you better remember the lessons and most importantly, create a plan for putting these techniques into action. Each section includes PDF workbooks to help you see just how powerfully these strategies can find a home in your work life.
Why Learn to Build Influence
Throughout this course, I point to data from new employees, entrepreneurs, managers, etc. that show how building social skills and influence is associated with tangible career outcomes. No matter what your industry or organization, building influence is crucial for reaching your personal and professional goals. It’s just as important for young professionals entering the workforce as it is for people who have established themselves in positions of leadership.
Why Learn from Me
Lots of people claim to hold the secret to success, but it’s too easy to dream up strategies that don’t actually work. My goal in this course is to build strategies from hard data, published in scientific journals about social and management psychology. With a PhD in social psychology and years of experience teaching online and in college classrooms, I’ll be your guide. I did the work upfront to find and understand the research from behavioral science, and now I bring it to you!
You can trust that I’ll tell you what the research actually shows, but I also give you a complete review of every reference and study. I’ll keep things clear and entertaining in this course, but I’m completely transparent about where these insights come from.
By the end of this course, you can walk into your workplace a changed person! You will have developed a clear plan for increasing your social prowess and ability to develop relationships that work for you.
So come on in! I’m looking forward to guiding you through the science of success!
