Speakers

Description
Helena Boschi will outline the neuroscience behind persuasion and will share key strategies that you can implement as a leader:
- Why it is difficult to persuade others (especially when we have mastered an expertise that not everyone has. e.g, lawyers versus non-lawyers)
- Our brain’s ability to rewire but how our ‘humanness’ stops us from effecting change in ourselves and others
- The nocebo effect of language and how not to influence
- Language that works in the brain - and why
- Emotion versus reason: why it is important to connect on a human level first
- Why fairness is critical to other people
- How we are influenced by context and comparison
- Influencing below the level of consciousness and why this works best
