Synopsis

What could be better than getting anyone to do anything in seven minutes…or less?

Finally, a revolutionary new approach scientifically proven to create instant, effective, and lasting change in anyone—coworkers, friends, family, strangers, even yourself. Use Instant Influence to:

• Motivate your employees to become more productive
• Encourage your clients to use more of your products and services
• Even get your kids to do their homework—without being nagged

With six simple questions, motivational specialist Dr. Michael V. Pantalon teaches you how to plant the seeds for change, help others discover their own powerful reasons for change, identify effective “change talk,” make an action plan, and create successful outcomes even with people who are resistant to change.

Based on the only motivational approach scientifically proven to succeed in more than one hundred clinical trials, Instant Influence is used nationwide in corporations, hospitals, court systems, universities, therapists’ offices, and elsewhere. From coping with a recalcitrant employee to resolving a long-standing problem with your spouse, Instant Influence can help you create the lasting results you want while improving the relationships you have.

I don't generally read self-help books, but I picked this one up during an Audible "spend two credits and get three books" sale. The title and synopsis were intriguing--who wouldn't want to be able to get other people to do what you want?--but that's about where it stops. The idea of this book is th......more

I loved this book. It is a book that has a lot of knowledge in it. The information inside this book can be used in everyday life. I have had to read it more than once and it is a book that can be used as a reference and a review to deal with people. I was glad I was able to get this book in my hands......more
