EO Nashville Signature Event with Niro Sivanathan, PhD
2025-01-14 07:30 - 10:30 | City Winery, 609 Lafayette St,, Nashville, TN, United States
Being a confident and effective agent of influence is a crucial skill, not only in your professional life, but also in your personal life. How can you leverage the latest science in behavioral decision-making to achieve your ambitious goals?
This interactive session titled “Unlock Your Power of Influence,” will explore how individuals process information and the cognitive quirks that affect our judgements, decisions and behavior. These mental shortcuts provide participants a potential avenue through which to frame proposals, requests, and choices which can exponentially increase their ability to nudge others towards a “yes” and secure buy-in.

The session while grounded in science, will provide practical tools, tips, guidance and examples across a wide variety of scenarios, including many EO companies who mobilized these strategies to get their desired outcome.

About the speaker:

Niro Sivanathan is Professor of Organizational Behavior at the London Business School. He is a much sought after keynote speaker and executive education trainer at company and industry conferences across the world covering topics such as Influence and Persuasion, Negotiation Strategies, & Decision-Making.

He regularly advises, coaches and guides EOers/YPOers and their companies through exits, acquisitions and strategic negotiations that have ranged in deal sizes from 35M to 1.2B. He also serves on the advisory boards of these organizations.

Our experts will also explore financial planning, an inherently vital aspect of your planning process, as you examine how different funding sources like Medicare, Medicaid, and VA benefits can impact care affordability.
This critical session is not just for those of us with senior parents but also can help us understand and begin to plan for ourselves – Join us!

Three Key Takeaways:

Wide Range of Care Options: Senior care spans multiple levels, from in-home care and assisted living to nursing homes, each designed to support different needs based on the individual’s health and lifestyle.
Cost and Financial Planning: Understanding the financial implications of each care option, including the role of Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance, is crucial in making informed decisions about long-term care.
Personalized Care Choices: The best care option balances the senior’s desire for independence with their need for support, factoring in personal preferences, family involvement, and available resources.
