Chapter Meeting
February Meeting and Luncheon
Our scheduled speaker is Brian Ahearn.
Aristotle said persuasion was, “The art of getting someone to do something they wouldn’t ordinarily do if you didn’t ask.” Persuasion is more than changing hearts and minds, it’s about changing behavior. Whether you want someone to approve your project, meet your deadline, or just get your kids to do their homework, persuasion is a skill that can help you accomplish your goals. There are more than seven decades of research into the psychology of persuasion but very few people know the science. As a result, most people not nearly as effective as they could be when it comes to moving others to action. Brian will help change that! He combines more than 30 years in the insurance industry with a deep understanding of psychology in entertaining and engaging ways to show audiences how to apply the psychology in ways that will ensure their professional success and personal happiness.
