Presentation Summary:

Eureka! This is it! We’ve all had those moments of insight. When we know in our hearts this campaign… this initiative… this idea… will solve the problem, increase revenue, save money, etc. But we quickly go from exhilaration to frustration when we hit the wall of resistance! Resistance from the leadership team, key partners, and maybe even peers.

In this presentation, you’ll…

Gain a better understanding of why people resist great ideas–biology and psychology–so they are able to overcome this resistance.

Learn a technique called “resistance mapping” to identify resistance and plan talking points to overcome it.

Learn to use contrast and rhythm in your communication to overcome resistance in a natural non-confrontational manner.

Learn to use guided choices, guides questions, and additional techniques that will help overcome people’s natural “anti-persuasion radar.”

What’s the result?

You’ll be able to walk into any situation with the ability to build trust with your listener, overcome any resistance and influence their decisions so you can get the results you want.
