Persuasion Course Updated

The Power of 3 Persuasion course, from Accordence, is a one-day training program intended to enhance your ability to persuade and influence others. In this world of decreasing consensus-based decision making, the need to persuade and influence others is growing. The Power of 3 Persuasion employs an interactive learning approach that enables participants to apply three different perspectives to issues they face. These 3 Influence Perspectives, rooted in philosophy and psychological research, are the mindsets through which we "see" the world.

People who are most effective at resolving differences and persuading others are adept at viewing the world from all three:

First Person (advocating one's own needs)

Second Person (acknowledging others' point of view)

Third Person (observing objectively to seek what is reasonable and fair)

Which mindset is your most prevalent one?  For a quick check, decide which of the following three groups describes you best when you are trying to persuade someone of something:

1) Assertive, competitive, decisive 
2) Empathetic, accommodating, helpful
3) Objective, analytical, and fair

Which comes next?  Which is the least?  

After attending The Power of 3, you will be better able to:

· influence effectively in order to strengthen all relationships at your organization
· increase awareness of how you and others approach influence
· recognize the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches to persuasion
· advocate for your own needs when persuading and influencing
· support the other person in an influence situation
· create fair solutions with objectivity
· develop strategies for dealing with people with different styles
· build consensus in spite of differing views
· make better choices when faced with opposition

Grande Lum, Managing Director of Accordence, Inc. says, "I am excited to launch this improved course. Our clients will benefit by the fun and clear manner in which the program shares our persuasion methodology. While participants hone their skills in the workshop, facilitators and attendees also provide thoughts, questions, feedback, and coaching on challenges and opportunities to influencing others."
