The Art of Influence

The Art of Influence program offers participants the chance to learn—and put into practice—concepts and techniques that ultimately lead to more meaningful, purposeful, and persuasive communication, whether formal or informal.

Through engaging activities and discussions, we explore long-established and highly celebrated theories on communication from a variety of fields, practice strategies for creating and delivering short but powerful presentations on a specific position, dig deep into what makes for a proper and logical defense of an argument, and investigate ways to engage in authentic and productive dialogue—even when we don’t agree.

​

Topics Covered:

• The Art (and Science) of Persuasive Communication

• Tactics for Delivering Concise Presentations

• The Art of Argument

• The Art of Persuasive Dialogue
