MOTIVATIONAL SPECIALIST DR. MICHAEL PANTALON IN DISCUSSION WITH AUDREY GRUSS
FRIDAY, JULY 31 | 11 AM
Perhaps you want to negotiate a raise, or you’d like to get your kids to clean their rooms without threats or bribes, or you want to help a family member change an unhealthy habit.
With six simple questions, motivational specialist Dr. Michael Pantalon teaches you how to plant the seeds for change, help others discover their own powerful reasons for change, identify effective “change talk,” make an action plan, and create successful outcomes even with people who are resistant to change.
Dr. Michael V. Pantalon, Ph.D., is Dean and University Professor at Long Island University’s School of Health Professionals and an award-winning researcher, motivational coach, consultant, and therapist. From coping with a recalcitrant employee to resolving a long-standing problem with your spouse, his scientifically-proven communication strategies can help you create the lasting results you want while improving the relationships you have. He will share his strategies in an illuminating and open conversation with Audrey Gruss, Founding Chair of the Hope for Depression Research Foundation.
