Instant Influence

Perhaps you want to motivate a loved one to engage in healthier habits, coax a customer service representative into giving you an upgrade, encourage your employees to achieve, or even inspire change in yourself. Renowned psychologist Dr. Michael Pantalon can show you how to do all of this and more in six simple steps.

Drawing on three decades of scientific research, INSTANT INFLUENCE shows you how to motivate others to make changes both great and small in 7 minutes or less. Listeners will learn how to apply Dr. Pantalon's method in every area of life, how to hang in there when meeting resistance, and how to find even the tiniest spark of "yes" within an answer that sounds like "no." INSTANT INFLUENCE will show you how to get people to tap into their own deeply personal reasons for wanting to change.
