# 379 - How to talk to and influence anyone - Phil M Jones

In this episode I speak with Phil M Jones, author and international speaker. We hear why words, something that we use all the time are quite so powerful. I ask if we really understand the significance of the words we use and how they can influence and impact people around us. Expect to learn the one mistake most people make when they are speaking to others. Phil tells us some of the phrases he suggests we incorporate into our language to maximise our influence. Discover why empathy is so important when engaging with others you're seeking to influence. We learn how to get more Yes's in response to requests, and we hear about the difference between trying to manipulate someone and trying to influence them. Phil really is a master speaker, every word he utters is loaded with meaning and commands attention. You will be watching your Ps and Qs after this cat I promise you.
