ITL283: How to Influence Others to Act on Your Suggestions

In this episode, we answer a listener's question on getting students to believe they're learning helpful information.   People can only accomplish what they believe they can accomplish. I call this "belief imposition." What you believe controls how you behave—whether it's true or not.   If you want someone to change what they believe, you need to know how change works. As harsh as it sounds, people don't implement your suggestions because they don't believe you. Two elements are required for true change: 1. What's in it for them, and 2. Proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Your presentation of these elements is key.   Tune in to hear about a conversation Andy had at dinner with some military officials.   You can also hear more from Andy by subscribing to his new podcast, The Professional Noticer.
