E345 | In Case You Missed It E202: Why F...

Brett Bartholomew
About this episode

Why would someone hold on to a false or inaccurate belief even when you’ve laid out all the facts and logic in front of them? You couldn’t have been more clear in presenting your argument!

Your reasoning is solid, but maybe it’s not the absence of evidence that’s preventing them from changing their perspective—it might be the way the information was delivered...

Today’s show is one of our keystone episodes, unlocking why constructive communication often fails to get off the ground. Brett is joined by Ali Kershner in-studio for a deep dive into the tactics that will help you get your point across more effectively and give you the best chance to change someone’s behavior. 

Grab a pen and download the reflection questions because this episode is hands-on and loaded with tactical information and strategies you can implement at work, home and anywhere you deal with people.  

You'll learn:

  • How to identify the areas you’re stubborn in and need to change
  • The different types of persuasion and the impact of each
  • How time can impact a person's decision making 
  • Gaining perspective through role playing
  • The tactics and strategies behind our popular online courses and in person events that you can use to relate to the drive of the individual you are trying to convince
