Psychology of Persuasion: Top 5 influencing skills for getting what you want

– with Mark Perrett

The most successful coaches, consultants and leaders influence people using intrinsic motivation rather than pushing fear and threats of non-compliance. In this video, using the science and psychology of persuasion, I share my top 5 influencing skills that will help you to inspire motivation in others by winning their hearts and minds, and influence people to achieve the results that are a win for all involved. By mastering these 5 skills, risk and safety practitioners can put their sticks and carrots away forever, and build lasting personal and professional relationships with their clients and team members.

    Despite its intent on establishing relationships it is rather incongruous with Martin Buber’s philosophical doctrine:

    Mark, that’s good to hear. So I’m curious then to your framing, A utilitarian ethic of the end justifies the means unfortunately manufactures much bullying in safety.

    Thanks for watching, Evalyne, and thank you for the encouraging words. I appreciate it greatly. I’m just starting out with the videos. Still building confidence.

    I also hope it reaches the intended audience. I’ll do my best.

    Stay safe,

    Mark.

    I couldn’t agree more, Dr Rob, psychology is not about getting what you want, and the psychology of self is not ethical in my eyes either.

    The people who need to understand the message in the video are not likely to click on a heading, “Give lots of hugs and make the world a better place.”

    The video is not intended for those of us who already care about others, and do things for the good of society. We wouldn’t click on that headline except out of horror. It is aimed specifically at people who need to hear this stuff, but only respond to things when they’re about them and their own interests.

    Maybe it’s unethical to make people think they’re going to watch a video about winning for themselves, when in fact it’s all about helping others win.

    Cheers,

    Mark.

    The purpose of understanding psychology is NOT to get what you want. The psychology of the self is not ethical. If you know how to influence them it should be for community, justice, care, helping and the good of persons. The framing Discourse of the medium destroys the purpose of the message. Such is the reason for ethics and the unethical discourse of self-motivational discourse.
