Course Highlights
People do business with people they like. Successful results are greatly determined by your ability to influence the behaviours, beliefs, and attitudes of other people. This isn’t about manipulation, but rather understanding fundamental psychological aspects of human nature. This course assumes that most people you’re working with are good, honest, and decent most of the time. The core of all positive interpersonal relationships, and one of the two main goals when influencing, is mutual liking. Liking or disliking others is based mostly on unconscious processes.
