The Science of Convincing
Every day we try to convince people of something – patients, peers, projects, even our kids. The Science of Convincing is a two-part experiential workshop where you will learn how our biology and systems impact communication along with the insights, tools, and techniques you can use to reduce stress and strife while reaching an agreement. Rob Hammond, director of the Center for Marketing and Sales Innovation in the USF Muma College of Business, will be your guide on this foundational life skills journey.
