Influence Is Your Superpower
Communication
Take on resistance with ease
from Influence Is Your Superpower: The Science of Winning Hearts, Sparking Change, and Making Good Things Happen by Zoe Chance
How to Apply This
- Acknowledge their resistance and articulate it to put the other at ease.
Whenever you feel resistance from someone, try saying things like, "You might think I'm too young to be a manager" or "I understand it’s a lot of money." - Ask before you ask.
Don’t jump right into asking if you feel that this person may resist you; instead, ask them if it’s okay to ask about something at a later time. - Affirm their freedom of choice.
Let others know that you’re not trying to pressure them and that it’s their decision at the end of the day.
