A Changing Minds training event in London

Wednesday 5th September

with David Straker and Paul Sloane

 

After writing this website for ten years and following many requests, David Straker, in collaboration with international speaker and author Paul Sloane, will be giving a rare training seminar on the inner secrets of changing minds (with material not included in this website).

>> Book my place now <<

What will I gain?

In an action-packed day, you will both discover and practice:

  • The core pattern that is common to all forms of persuasion and changing minds.
  • How to speak powerfully, so people will listen and pay attention to your words.
  • How to read between the lines to detect lies and understand real commitment.
  • How to build lasting relationships that work for you.
  • How to sell yourself and your ideas to other people.

You can hear Paul and David talking more about this in a short podcast.

 

Who is doing the training?

 

David Straker, author of the top rated website changingminds.org and the book Changing Minds: In Detail, has studied persuasion for over thirty years, during which he has gained four postgraduate qualifications in related disciplines. His work has included many roles in large and small, private and public organisations in which he exercised practical influencing methods to achieve wide-scale change.

 

Paul Sloane, author of How to be a Brilliant Thinker and The Leader’s Guide to Lateral Thinking Skills, was a top salesman with IBM, MD of Ashton-Tate and CEO of Monactive. He is an expert facilitator and course leader on innovation and lateral thinking in business.

 

Where is it being held?

The seminar will be held in the London Bridge Room in Glazier's Hall.

This is a beautiful location overlooking the Thames and is right by the City of London.

The London Bridge Underground station and main railway station are just over the road.
