Creative avatars is a great way to represent typical employees or customers that you’re talking about in your training but it has always been hard to find a variety of avatars drawn in the same style and give those avatars the expressions you want to portray.

For example, a common situation is to show a before and after situation.

A customer might be frustrated before they buy your product and then, hopefully, be happy and you want to show an avatar expressing both those emotions.

PowerPoint cartoon characters give you all the tools you need to accomplish this.

In this session, you’ll learn:

• How to mix and match expressions, heads, bodies, and positions
• How to change colors – and what you can’t change
• How to create an avatar library to save you time when you use your avatars again

Ellen says using the cartoon people is fun! Come & enjoy.

Powerful Persuasion Strategies
Not Found In Robert Cialdini’s Book INFLUENCE

Robert Cialdini’s legendary book, INFLUENCE, was published 39 years ago.

The world has drastically changed since 1984, yet Dr. Cialdini’s persuasion principles have held firm because they are rooted in un-changing human psychology.

Marketers, consultants, C-level decision-makers, training specialists, negotiators, and experts in Sales, Communication and HR who master Cialdini’s principles invariably:

• Become better leaders
• Get far more YES answers to requests
• Close more deals and make more sales
• Successfully persuade others to support them, and
• Become more successful professionals

Yet even those familiar with Cialdini’s influence principles are likely unaware of the most recent methods, frameworks and findings, such as:

• The Smuggler’s quadrants
• The 5-steps to identifying your own Influence strengths
• ETHICAL Influence: The Weapon vs. Lever approach
• Unity: the most powerful principle
• The unfortunate mistake everyone makes with Social Proof

Join Dr. Matthew Champagne, Ph.D (LinkedIn profile) , the #1 most experienced Cialdini Certified Professional, as he explains these ideas for the first time, and illustrates how to guarantee more YES from your customers, prospects, students, colleagues and decision-makers.

Don’t miss this opportunity: ETHICAL PERSUASION is a top-5 in-demand power skill in today’s workplace. Those who apply these “secrets” of persuasion will gain a clear and insurmountable business advantage.

The Emotional Quotient-Inventory 2.0® (EQ-i 2.0®) is tailor-made to give us insight into individuals and their behavior—ourselves, our leaders, colleagues, and team members.

It measures our EQ or Emotional Quotient. Designed and presented by OKA’s Hile Rutledge, this webinar will show you how to guide a group through an interactive process that explores the behaviors the team or system values, supports and expects and the behaviors the group most overlooks and discourages.

What are the behavioral patterns of your particular work group—what is the EQ atmosphere?

In this session Hile will introduce participants to the EQ Atmosphere exercise—a fun and enlightening card-sort exercise that helps EQ clients answer the questions— “Now what” and “So what?” Now that we have our EQ-i scores, what do we DO with them?

This webinar will show participants how to do the exercise and share case study results from various clients. Participants will also receive a write-up detailing the exercise and the slides from the webinar itself.

Webinar Objectives

• Share an EQ exercise that encourages/facilitates groups or organizations to discuss EQ content and apply it to their work setting and culture
• Experience and analyze EQ Atmosphere results from several different client groups
• Learn best practices to tie these group-level insights to individuals’ learning and action plans
• Receive a write-up of the EQ Atmosphere exercise
• Engage in a question/answer discussion with your webinar host, Hile Rutledge

Presenter: Hile Rutledge, MSOD (LinkedIn profile) President & Principal Consultant, OKA, is a master trainer, author, and thought-leader in leadership and team development, Hile specializes in the administration and application of psychological tools—chief among them the EQ-i, the world’s leading Emotional Intelligence assessment.

Back by popular demand! Our special guest; Tony Parinello, (LinkedIn profile) author and creator of Selling to VITO, the Very Important Top Officer!

Tony, is a Wall Street Journal best-selling author who has personally trained well over 2.5 million salespeople and the majority of the F-1000 to create bigger sales and commission checks while drastically cutting sales cycle times.

During this unique web-event Tony will teach you his proven, sustainable process to master the four languages necessary to effectively Sell to VITO and everyone else in VITO’s organization that will influence the outcome of your sale!

Carefully ponder the following three questions:

1. What would happen if you could illustrate any Organization-Chart for any prospect or customer without ever asking for one…then…
2. What would happen if you could  superimpose the names and titles of each individual you’re going to come in contact with throughout your entire sales process…then…
3. What would happen if you could superimpose the precise language and talk-tracks necessary to capture each individual’s interest and earn their business…

Here’s exactly what would happen…

• You would stop losing sales that you thought you were going to win
• You would free-up every ‘stalled’ sale in your sales pipeline
• You would shorten your sales process
• You would most likely crush your yearly sales quota before you get halfway into your third quarter…
