Get Influence Australia

As a Licensed Trainer with Get Influence Australia, I deliver world-class Influence & Persuasion programs developed by Dr. Robert Cialdini, the globally renowned expert in the science of ethical influence.

Through high-impact keynotes, workshops, and in-house training, I help professionals and organisations across Australia apply Dr. Cialdini’s 7 Principles of Influence—backed by over 40 years of scientific research—to achieve measurable improvements in leadership, sales, negotiation, marketing, and communication.

This role sits at the intersection of behavioural science and business impact, and is delivered under Digital Consulting Ventures, in partnership with the Cialdini Institute.

What I Do:
- Deliver Cialdini-certified influence training to corporate teams, executives, and business leaders
- Facilitate interactive, research-backed workshops on decision-making, ethical persuasion, and trust-building
- Work with HR, marketing, and sales leaders to embed influence strategies into their day-to-day operations
- Help clients move from instinct-based decisions to science-backed influence strategies that create lasting impact

Why It Matters:
In an age of information overload, attention scarcity, and buyer skepticism, influence is no longer optional—it’s a core business skill. My mission is to help organisations and individuals ethically harness the power of persuasion to create alignment, inspire action, and drive results.

We are driven by a simple belief: that when an individual’s career aspirations are aligned with organisational goals, both will thrive.

Our software platform maps and manages an organisation’s workforce skills, capturing the current capabilities and future potential of employees against the needs of the organisation. 

It’s skills-based employment, but with a twist. 

We take someone’s skills profile and enrich it with innovative psychometric and cognitive insights to create a holistic view of where they are now – and where they could go next. 

Our tech makes these insights actionable across the end-to-end talent lifecycle – motivating people to continuously grow in the direction a company needs. 

We call it ‘employee activation’. It’s how you get the most out of your people, and people get the best opportunity to succeed.
