When we learn grammar in school, we’re not always taught the degree to which language is power. Wharton School marketing professor Jonah Berger argues that linguistics can help you fit in with colleagues, be more persuasive, engage others, positively influence behavior, and make others feel heard.
We welcome Dr. Berger into the Big Think+ community with his new 11-part class on how to unlock the magic of language and increase your impact. You’ll learn how to:
- Use language to build connections and make others feel heard
- Engage people’s attention and increase persuasion power
- Influence behavior with identity-based words
- Leverage confidence and deflect unfair questions
- Recognize the power and influence of tiny words
We’re excited to see how Jonah and other world-class Big Think+ business minds can help your team learn to unlock the power of communication. Check out a sample from Jonah’s class and request a full demo below for more detail on Big Think+ Leadership.
Leaders and employees are busy and finding engaging ways to develop leadership and professional skills in shorter segments makes it accessible for everyone.
