About this episode

When someone first sees you, what impression do they get? What image do you project? It’s important to think about this if you want to be persuasive. This episode begins by looking at how people judge you, your ideas, opinions and recommendations. And so much of it has to do with who you present yourself to be.

He is an expert on military decision making and has worked with the Department for Defense and National Institute for Justice. He’s also served as an international expert on security and has been an expert witness on court cases involving decision making.
