Shownotes

You have a message you believe in. Getting other people to see it, believe it, and act on it is a completely different skill, and most of us were never taught how.

Behavioral scientist JonRobert Tartaglione breaks down his five principles of influence, the science of what actually moves people to think, decide, and act, without manipulation or pressure.

About the Guest:

JonRobert Tartaglione is the founder of Influence51 and holds a PhD in psychology from the University of Cambridge. A behavioral scientist, he helps leaders and organizations apply the science of influence.

Key Takeaways:

  • The brain isn't a computer; we rationalize decisions far more than we reason them.
  • We're deeply social; what others around us do shapes what we do.
  • Liberals and conservatives differ at a deeper level than policy alone.
  • Pressure triggers pushback; preserving someone's autonomy is more persuasive.
  • Framing matters; the same facts land differently depending on presentation.
  • The most persuasive voice is the other person's, so ask, don't force.
