How to Influence People without Authority
Presented by: Brian Ahearn
We should be proud to be in the insurance industry for two big reasons. First, we help people. After tragedy strikes insurance gets people and business up and running again. Second, we are vital part of the economy. Because of the guarantees we make lending institutions are more willing to take on risk which stimulates economic growth. It’s important that we understand how to ethically move people to do what’s in their best interest. This is where persuasion comes in. There are more than seven decades of research into the psychology of persuasion but very few people know the science. As a result, they are not as effective as they could be when it comes to getting others to act.
- Understand the six principles of ethical persuasion
- Learn the scientific research to back up claims of effectiveness
- Have clear application of the principles in typical insurance scenarios

Creating Believable Value
Presented by: Dr. Jim Kirkpatrick
Training is still "on trial," charged with incurring expenses in excess of the value it provides to the organization. Training must reinvent itself and transcend the classroom. Attend this thought-provoking session to learn how to structure initiatives so they enhance on-the-job performance and impact the bottom line. Learn directly from the creators of the Kirkpatrick Model the newest way to implement the four levels. This program will focus on tactics at Levels 3 and 4 and provide ideas that any professional can implement in their own organization.
