Client stories

What our clients say.

  • AstraZeneca

    AstraZeneca: an audience from about 40 countries put it to work right away.

    “Dr. Cialdini held our audience ‘spellbound’ for hours. His advice was both strategic and practical and was geared perfectly for our audience from about 40 countries. His principles were put into practice by the delegates immediately.”

    Cathy KernenGlobal Director of Product PR, AstraZeneca , Alderley Park, UK

  • Bayer

    Bayer: developing its high-potential leaders.

    “Dr. Robert Cialdini has played an integral role in the development of our high-potential leaders. His practical insights and real-world perspectives have challenged our executives to step back and reassess their global leadership and influence skills. He provides an important link in the development of our future leaders.”

    Gregory J. SmithPhD, Administration & Finance Division, Organizational Development & HR Research, Bayer Corporation

  • Cisco

    Cisco: a senior sales team that stayed engaged, and kept the lessons months later.

    “Dr. Cialdini, I was concerned that because my sales team is very senior, sophisticated, and experienced, if you did not keep their attention, they would simply walk out, get on their Treos or start taking phone calls. I was most pleased that they stayed, were engaged and, from their responses, now months afterward, found: new, useful, long-term and important lessons to make these ‘old pro’s’ even better . Mission accomplished!”

    Tom StroudCisco Systems
