The Persuasion Challenge
Date:
May 31, 2020
Persuasion is inherently challenging, but it’s made more difficult by the way we’re conventionally taught to think about persuasion. I’ll outline a new framework for persuasion that will prepare you to master the six persuasion skillsets. We’ll cover:
- The two most common persuasion mistakes and how to avoid them
- A simple tactic that will allow you to deal with spurious “facts” raised in conversations and debates
- The reason why learning persuasion is so hard, and the key to making it far easier
- Why you shouldn’t try to make an argument that’s impossible for someone to disagree with—and what you should do instead
