"Neil’s course “How to Persuade and Influence People” is highly recommended. Both to understand the “tricks” that are likely played on you by many sales people, and to learn how to utilize these same methods in an ethical way to create win-win situations with you clients, colleagues and anyone else you may be dealing with. This is one day extremely well invested as the scientific principles taught are easy to pick up and incorporate into your daily communication patterns. On top of this, Neil’s enthusiastic and fun teaching style makes it an enjoyable day too!"
"Neil shares practical and proven techniques to activate and amplify your results in business and personal interactions. He shares stories and anecdotes to reinforce key learnings. Thumbs up!"
"I found the analysis of the various techniques extremely interesting and have no doubt that they will be of great assistance both professionally and personally."
"The course on persuasion and influencing has merit for any business tasked with breaking the link between cost and growth. Don’t be fooled in to thinking this is only for those in front line sales; it’s for anyone involved in people interactions on any level."
"Neil’s Persuasion course provides the busy experienced professional with new skills that they will not gain in everyday industry-specific experience, nor can we pick up in a book. The varied groups of skilled professionals attending Neil’s courses as well as the presentation of content allows students to apply learnt principles to our own environment quickly."

"If you are thinking this course is just for sales people learning how to sell, think again.. These are skills that can be applied in high level business meetings, in negotiations, in enhancing personal relationships and even in raising your kids! Invaluable."
"I had a great time today and the course was just the right length of time to absorb information but at the same time allow you to “visualise” how you can put this information into action. I would highly recommend this to anyone who deals with people whether in the public or private sector as the world would be a more efficient and better place if we paid more attention to other’s needs as well as our own!"

I learnt lots about a topic I assumed I already know lots about so it was worthwhile experience that I would recommend to others."

"Neil delivers logical and sound reasoning to persuasive success factors which we ‘ordinary people’ often overlook as mundane everyday social interactions."
"A good foundation in the principles behind persuading people in business and personal settings. Would recommend!"
