Send us Fan MailPersuasion isn't just a nice-to-have --It's the skill that determines whether you get opportunities, earn cooperation and move your career forward.  Persuasion is a much in-demand soft skill which should be mastered early in life, rather than late in life What Cialdini Certified Trainers teach is grounded in research and scientifically sound. He loves sharing this with professionals, but he also have a passion to teach this to young adults before they attempt to 'convince' an employer with a predicably inefficient job application and go to an interview 'unarmed' when it comes to persuasion skills. If you want to understand how persuasion really works--and how to use it ethically and effectively--this is a must listen. Patrick's website:www.ethicalpersuasion.com.auPodcast:  Ethical Persuasion Unlocked.Book:  How to get to Yes More OftenSupport the showConnect with Sindy at www.linkedin.com/in/sindythomasFor services and resources go to:www.insiderscareerclub.com
