These are a couple clips from one of my old OSU professors. He was, honestly, one of the most influential people in my life. I wouldn’t be where and who I am if it weren’t for him. These particular clips are generally about being likeable. If you’ve ever read How to Win Friends and Influence People the concepts will be familiar. He just brings in examples and is just… good old andy. The clips are disappointingly short, but LISTEN TO THEM my friend. Just pop your headphones on why you’re internetting and listen. Also please disregard the slightly annoying interviewer and her thick OK accent.

On Influence - Through his personal experience and his research on human behavior, Urich shares what he has learned about being an influential leader. Instead of trying to convince people that you are right (which implies that they are wrong), strive to build positive relationships and implement other strategies for influence.

Becoming More Likeable - Being likable is someone who is “admired, respected, and wished well.” Likeability is often the basis of influence, even more so than logic.
