Join the Changing Demands webinar on May 21, 2018 at 8 AM EST/1 PM GMT/7 PM ICT to talk about the insights from Principles of Persuasion Workshop. The workshop was developed and is based on the research of Dr. Robert Cialdini, author of the New York Times bestseller, Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion. It explores how to “ethically and effectively apply the Principles of Persuasion to move people to change, to act and to say “yes” to all types of requests”.
TRAFFIC in Viet Nam team members, Trinh Nguyen and Ha Nguyen will be sharing their reflections from the workshop and offer some thoughts on how the Principles of Persuasion can be applied to their current projects or used to reduce consumer demand for illegal wildlife products.
