  • Create an influence strategy tailored to your organization’s hierarchy

    Author of What Investors Really Want

  • "Intentionally increasing your impact is a complex task. Harrison Monarth has clarified the factors which affect your ability to influence: how people form and maintain beliefs, types of resistance and how to handle them, as well as strategies for getting the results you desire. A well-researched and insightful book, and a great read."

    Shelle Rose Charvet

    Author of the international best-seller Words That Change Minds: Mastering the Language of Influence

  • "None of the classic definitions of man from “symbol-using” to “rational” animal really captures our essence specifically as well as Harrison Monarth’s seeing man as the animal who influences. In 360 Degrees of Influence Monarth sees human beings’ omnipresent desire to engage in influencing behavior as all-consuming, whether conscious or not. Learning how to do it well can affect practically every human activity from business success to dealing with bullies. For those of us in the Persuasion Game, this is a bite of the apple of the definitive human activity that few writers can consume as well as Harrison Monarth."
