About the Course:

Have you ever wondered why you say yes to someone else’s demand? Or how some people just seem so good at getting their way with people? Or better, how could you possess the skills to do just that? If so, this course is precisely what you have been looking for.

This course will explore how one can win friends and influence others.  We will focus on public speaking in the total speech situation, meaning, how to perform persuasively in front of a large audience or a more intimate setting between two or more people. Great emphasis will be placed on how to develop relationships for life--relationships designed so that both parties win out. The class will cover some history of the art of public speaking, but will mainly be concerned with the process of getting the most out of people and situations. The class will address a main concern for all employers--the ability to communicate effectively and well.

We will also explore the psychology of persuasion—addressing that question of why, in certain situations, you are compelled to say YES!

It’s going to be a blast, so I hope that you will join us. Do not be turned off by the Italian Studies description. That was merely for bureaucratic reasons.

Thanks!

The CCN will be given during the first class.
