✨ Why This Workshop Matters

Whether you’re in sales, leading a team, or building a business—your ability to influence and negotiate is everything. But persuasion isn’t about slick pitches or pushy tactics. It’s about understanding human psychology and using that insight to build trust, shift perspective, and drive action.

Led by executive coach and negotiation specialist Rafael Barreto, this session explores the science behind how we make decisions, what truly motivates people, and how to master the subtle (but powerful) art of persuasion.

Expect a fun, interactive evening full of practical frameworks, light roleplay, and real-world takeaways that will help you sell with more confidence and lead with greater impact.

🎯 Who Should Attend

This session is designed for:

  • Sales professionals looking to boost conversion and close rates
  • Entrepreneurs and founders pitching to clients, partners, or investors
  • Managers who want to lead more persuasively and inspire action
  • Anyone who negotiates in their career—and wants to win more (without being pushy)


📚 What You’ll Learn

During this interactive session, you’ll explore:

  • The psychology behind why people say “yes” (and “no”)
  • Six core principles of persuasion—and how to apply them
  • How to use emotional intelligence to build trust
  • What makes someone a great negotiator (hint: it’s not talking fast)
  • Tools to reframe objections and uncover true motivations
  • Real-time practice to embed your learning
