Avoid tension and build rapport

Avoid tension and build rapport

This underscores the importance of starting on the right foot. If you upset the person youโ€™re trying to help, theyโ€™ll wall themselves off.

It's important to use empathy, but donโ€™t get too friendly. Take a careful balance between making someone like you and asserting your authority.

Focus on collaboration

To get someone to act on your advice, itโ€™s going to mean giving up at least some of the credit for it.

When the person receiving your advice feels like they had a hand in creating itโ€”with guidance from you, the expert, of courseโ€”theyโ€™re far more likely to act on it.

Show your work

Show your work

In this case, youโ€™re showing your work because it instills trust, and trust is critical for acceptance.

When you show you work, the person youโ€™re advising doesnโ€™t have to take your recommendations on blind faith. They can see exactly how you got to your advice and buy into it along the way.

Get their friends on your side

Accountability is key. The more you can involve the entire social circle, the better the odds theyโ€™ll actually follow through.

You can spend 10 minutes giving someone life-changing advice, but your advice would be much more effective if you knew a friend, a family member, and a co-worker were giving them the same feedback all day long.

Getting people to act

  • Donโ€™t advise until youโ€™ve been invited to. No one is going to listen to you until theyโ€™re ready to.
  • Offer long-term support. Itโ€™s hard to implement big changes in your life, especially if youโ€™re doing it alone.
  • Express confidence in their judgment. Work to make your advice their idea by asking lots of questions to lead them to the answer and let them know youโ€™re truly confident in their decision.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
