2:15 - 3:15		The Elements of Persuasion Credibility, managing emotion and logical structure are all important in persuasion. Learn the essence of how to invite opposing counsel, decision-makers and others to support your objectives.

3:15 - 3:45		Turn Conflict into Influence People become upset and conflict-oriented because they perceive that otherwise they are not going to get their needs met. Learn to identify the other's needs in order to get more of yours met.

A major component of building influence in relationships and satisfying clients, however, is found in the art of listening.
