Getting Others To Get It: New Information on the Science of Influence and Communication
In this presentation, Dr. Crawford goes beyond "good communication skills" by showing participants what is really happening when others are being resistant and why just continuing to give them data doesn't work! Finally, he will show you how to motivate others to not only hear what you are saying as valuable information but also take more responsibility for acting on your suggestions.
