Episode Synopsis

Send us a textWe dive into how to master influential conversations while staying true to yourself. If you’ve ever felt unheard in meetings or struggled to sway someone toward your perspective, this one’s for you. We’ll explore how to stay calm under pressure, use subtle techniques to build trust, and position your ideas in ways that truly resonate.Emotional Control Unlocks Influence: Staying composed and open in discussions is essential. Defensiveness or frustration blocks your ability to connect. Instead, approach conversations with curiosity and motivation, even if emotions run high.Build Rapport with Subtle Mirroring: Matching someone’s body language and speaking style helps create unconscious alignment. This might seem minor, but small adjustments—like mirroring posture or using similar phrasing—foster trust and connection effortlessly.Tailor Your Language to the Listener’s Perspective: Whether someone is visual, auditory, or tactile in how they process information, use language that resonates with their style. For example, use phrases like “see what I mean” for visual thinkers or “that sounds right” for auditory individuals. Influence is a skill—one you can refine for work, relationships, and beyond!Loved this episode?
