Niels Krøjgaard - Manipulationens Psykologi

We are influenced all the time. By words, images, body language, adverts, colleagues, friends and people we meet in everyday life.

But how much can other people actually influence us -- without us noticing it ourselves? This is what psychological entertainer and speaker Niels Krøjgaard investigates when he invites the audience right into the machinery of manipulation in a thought-provoking and entertaining lecture on human behaviour, influence and psychology.

The evening begins with a spectacular manipulation show, where Niels blends genuine psychology, fraud, deception and showmanship. The audience gets the opportunity to experience first-hand how easily our senses and judgements can be influenced -- and perhaps also be challenged on how well we actually know our own brain.

After the show, the focus shifts to the scientific side of manipulation. Based on the latest research and psychology professor Robert Cialdini's six principles of influence, the audience gains insight into why people say yes, how decisions are influenced, and what mechanisms lie behind our behaviour.

It is not about learning to deceive others, but about understanding the psychological mechanisms that influence us -- and how they can be used in an ethical and responsible way when dealing with customers, colleagues, employees and partners. Niels Krøjgaard has many years' experience with non-verbal communication and manipulation.

He has, among other things, taught hundreds of police officers, completed tasks for PET and been involved in training specialist forces at the National Police. With the Psychology of Manipulation, the audience gets both entertainment, surprises and new knowledge to take home -- and perhaps a greater awareness of how often we ourselves influence and are influenced by others. 19 January 2027, 19.00--21.20 including break.
