MD, USImagine that it is now three weeks after your event, and people are still raving about it. Not only that, they're describing how it changed their work and their lives... already.
Dr. Ed Tori is a board-certified physician, hypnotherapist, and one of the nation’s foremost authorities on ethical influence and behavior change. As founder of The Influence Center at MedStar Health and adjunct faculty at Georgetown University, Ed spent two decades studying a question most people never ask: why are good people systematically the worst at influence?
His training spans 20+ years across behavioral science, clinical hypnosis, direct-response marketing, NLP, game design, and cognitive psychology. Ed’s interactive, research-backed presentations combine live demonstration with practical tools audiences use the same day—not theories they forget by lunch. Organizations from NASA to Cleveland Clinic bring him back because the work sticks.
Ed completed his Doctorate in Osteopathic Medicine at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine following a Bachelor of Arts from Cornell University. He is board-certified in Internal Medicine and is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians. A father of six, his oldest children grew up experiencing broccoli as a dessert.
