Discovering Your Powers of Persuasion John Santangelo Founder and President Maximum Success Empowerment Seminars Agoura Hills, California Imagine being able to gain instant rapport with people you meet professionally and personally, effectively read their body language, and be able to influence anyone at anytime. Each time you speak to others your words have the potential power to open their minds to a new perspective – yours. Significant research has shown that there are three major components of influence and persuasion. The first is rapport; the second is your state of mind. You must have the proper mind-set to initially influence yourself. And third, the ability to use words as hypnotic tools to compel someone to see your perspective. This captivating presentation is not just about mastering the psychology of influence. It’s also about learning how to utilize your natural ability to communicate with someone’s unconscious mind. You’ll leave this session with fundamental communication and persuasion skills that will help you achieve maximum success.
