The Magic of Rapport: How to Gain Personal Power Jerry Richardson '64, a communications consultant, will share powerful techniques and strategies for obtaining your goals at work, at home, and with friends.

Richardson will discuss how these techniques and strategies are integrated into his consulting work for organizations and individuals and how these contribute to team-building, sales, and effective interaction among people with different styles. Richardson has a background in sales and sales training, marketing and management consulting, advertising, counseling, and education. He heads his own consulting firm, Richardson Associates, which is based in San Francisco, and has authored a book, The Magic of Rapport: How You Can Gain Personal Power In Any Situation.
