G. RICHARD SHELL ’71
The Art of Woo: How to Succeed by Winning Others Over
|
 |
| Organized by the Yale Club of Princeton
The Cynwyd Club |
|
You may need Sun Tzu’s The Art of War to understand your enemies. But if you prefer to win them over, you need to know the principles embodied inThe Art of Woo. Join us to learn The Art of Woo: the ability to win people over to your ideas without force or coercion, using relationship-based, emotionally intelligent persuasion. It is the secret of success with colleagues, clients, and customers. This meeting is not to be missed, combining the engaging presentation skills of Professor Shell, his ground-breaking research on influence and persuasion, and the opportunity to network with fellow Philadelphia-area Ivy Leaguers.
The lecture – featuring film clips and a personal self-assessment — will help you find your strengths as a persuader, as Professor Shell shows you how to overcome the five main barriers to influencing others. Each person brings a unique set of skills – your “Woo I.Q.” — to selling ideas. Your success derives from knowing what these skills are and using them at just the right time with just the right people.
The Art of Woo describes how an unknown aviator carrying mail as a night pilot gained fame and fortune as the first man to fly nonstop across the Atlantic. It explains how Nelson Mandela won over the guards at his brutal prison, and subsequently reinvented a nation. And it demonstrates how leaders from all walks of life use Woo every day to achieve their goals.

Yale Team to Compete in Prestigious Solar Decathlon Needs Your Support
To: Yale Alumni in Philadelphia
From: Juan Pablo Ponce de Leon, Project Manager, Y-House Solar Decathlon Team, J Edwards 2016
We are the Yale Solar Decathlon Team and we are designing and building a solar-powered home. Our “Y-House” will be transported to Irvine, California to compete in the 2015 Solar Decathlon by the Department of Energy. The aim of the competition is to build energy efficient homes, but we have been working with the Yale Climate and Energy Institute, West Campus, and Michelle Addington — a specialist in environmental design at the Yale School of Architecture– to ensure that our design addresses broader issues in sustainable design, not just those outlined in the rules.
A big goal for us was to connect the home with the outside environment, not just with passive ventilation methods, but visually and functionally as well. By having a big porch and collapsible walls the design integrates the exterior and the interior. Our pursuit of advanced approaches goes beyond technology and into facets like construction techniques where we are using cross laminated timber, which is an integrated structural wall unit system that simplifies construction.
This is a big effort that has been featured in Yale News several times and is 100% student-led. A good overview can be found in YCEI’s profile of the team here. We have support from Turner Construction, IBM, NanaWall, and SmartLAM. However, our work is not done.
We need your help! Monetary and in-kind support will be a critical step to the Y-House’s completion and success. To begin prefabrication of the structure we are hoping to raise $200,000 by mid-February.
For those interested in supporting our team at the Partner Level ($100) or higher, I would be happy to chat via email (juanpablo.poncedeleon@yale.edu) or phone (775-315-6528) and to send you our sponsorship packet.
All donations are tax-deductible and donations from alumni headed back to reunions can also be counted as part of the class gift. Thank you so much for all the help!

How to Win: a short film about fortune and fate by Rhassan Nichols, Y’08
How To Win is a story much like my own and it follows a young man who refuses to accept the cards dealt to him. The protagonist, “Magic”, takes his fate into his own hands, but the real win is in having the heart to even try. It is never too late to become the people we always wanted to be.
How To Win was filmed in Philadelphia during the first week in November with the generosity of friends and family. To bring this film to a theater near you, we need more donations for outstanding production expenses, editing, color grading, graphics, original musical composition, sound mix and digital mastering. Still need about $8000.All contributions will help. Please make contributions here:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rhasaan/how-to-win-a-short-film-about-fortune-and-fate
I am confident this standout short film [est.15 minutes] will be well-received within the festival circuit and ultimately acquired for distribution. For more on me, please visit:
