Influence Training Drives Change, Inspires Action, and Amplifies Your Mission
Imagine every interaction—whether with a donor, client, colleague, volunteer, or stakeholder—driving momentum toward meaningful change!
As a full-time faculty at Arizona State University and an adjunct at Phoenix College specializing in Persuasion, Influence, Consumerism, AI, and Communication, I’ve worked with nearly 1,000 students, helping them master the ethical principles of influence and communication. Fusing my academic experience with 20 years of marketing expertise and executive leadership, I bring a unique, real-world approach to the science-based Influence Matrix
Learning the science behind influence is fun, eye-opening, and even surprising—there’s always a “lightbulb” moment for participants when they realize how powerful these skills are!
