The Power of Influence – Dr. Kevin Hogan – Palace of Parliament, Bucharest, Romania
There are three factors that no one learns in sales, entrepreneurs and those in fields where gaining compliance is critical.
Kevin Hogan, Psy.D. will first take you through the most important aspects of body language. You’ll first learn the “universals.” These are body language cues, gestures, that are generally consistent across culture. You’ll first see how to read the body language signals and then be shown how to formulate an impression with your own body language cues and gestures.

Then Kevin will show you specific body language impression management for dealing with people outside of Romania. This portion of the module will help you increase your revenue and trigger liking and trust in others.
Did you know the average person lies 3 times in a 15-minute conversation? You’ll learn the basics of how to detect deception with body language. It can be particularly important to understand deception now that you will be able to see it, and how to respond so as to still make the sale, or her “yes.”
The second module today will detail the most important aspects of nonverbal communication in influencing others to your way of thinking.
Nonverbal communication is all other silent communication that is not body language. This is the choice of rooms, choice of seating, use of space, knowing what floor of a building to ask a question, deciding where to ask for “yes” and WHEN. The color of a wall and the background sounds can easily make or break a “yes” into a “no” instantly and without the ability to change the instant decision. Do you know what kind of a drink to offer your potential client or relationship partner? Some drinks almost guarantee a no response. Others make “yes” easy. No one ever talks about these aspects of gaining agreement, yet they determine the majority of answers!
The third module of the day will cover the most important and the latest research in persuasion and influence. We need the latest to have an edge over the competition. We need the best to know what we should really be using to gain agreement. You’ll also learn how to overcome resistance and reactance. The other person WILL BE resistant to you when they first meet you. YOU must bring the wall down FIRST THEN trigger identification, gain empathy and ask the right question and hear the RIGHT story from the other person long before you can ask for “yes.” I will lay it out for you step by step for different contexts.
What else will you learn today in the Power of Influence?
