The Institute of Public Speaking, an international public speaking and leadership training organization, announced today that registration is now open for its newest course, Persuasive Communication Skills. The course explores the science behind the power of persuasion and gives students the tools to effectively use it.

Through hands-on persuasion training and interactive activities and exercises, students will gain an understanding of the fundamentals of effective communication, master the science behind persuasion for success in career and life, learn to be more persuasive communicators and master the building blocks of public speaking, presentations and pitches. Participants will also learn to expand listening skills, learn tried and true methods to build influence and rapport, become expert negotiators, and discover the importance of emotional intelligence and more.

Students are video taped during persuasion training exercises and practice speeches to help build confidence and self-awareness. They will also benefit from one-on-one time with expert trainers in a small class setting to ensure the best learning outcome.

“All success-driven professionals need to be able to leverage persuasion in order to inspire and lead,” said Joseph Guarino, owner and senior trainer at the Institute of Public Speaking. “These skills are essential to closing business deals, getting raises and inspiring peers to action. Persuasive communication skills are also key to dealing with communications hurdles, such as challenging people, in a professional and constructive manner.”

Guarino has over 15 years of expertise in public speaking, leadership and communications training. Under his leadership, the Institute of Public Speaking has helped thousands of students master persuasive public speaking and other essential communications skills. The institute’s trainers’ experience spans nearly every industry and venue and they are committed to helping each and every student that enrolls take the next step to becoming an expert persuasive communicator.
