Engaging with people holding differing opinions is rarer still. But for progress to take place, persuasion must happen. Whether its convincing an employer you are right for the job, a customer that your product is the best, or your closed-minded uncle that good people can disagree, it takes the art--and science--of persuasion to move forward. So, how do you change someones mind--or at least advance the conversation--when everyone is entrenched in their own points of view? Communication expert Lee Hartley Carter has spent nearly twenty years advising and helping the worlds most well-known companies do just that.

Advance Praise for Persuasion

Everyday life is filled with situations that require the art of persuasion. From negotiating a raise to selling a product. From winning a political debate to getting your kids to do their homework. In every situation, you can choose how to approach the other person and what language to use. Lee Carter gives you a road map to making choices that will help you get what you want. Through real-world examples and extensive research, she has created simple tools that you can put to use to win hearts and minds.

Effective communication starts with the ability to empathize deeply with your audience. In Persuasion, Lee explains what empathy is, why it matters, and how to use it to craft persuasive messages. Filled with examples and case studies, this book takes complex concepts and makes them easy to understand, and readily applicable to everyday life.

Michael Maslansky, CEO, maslansky + partners, and author of Language of Trust

I cant think of a time when understanding the art and science of persuasion was more important than right now. This book is academic in its comprehensive approach. Its practical in how the reader can and should benefit from every lesson. Its so loaded with essential insight that I put my highlighter down after the first chapterthere was yellow on every page. As an occasional competitor, I shouldnt admit this, but the Persuasion Plan Workbook is so essential to effective communication that I plan to steal it and use it for my clients immediately.

Dr. Frank I. Luntz, author of Words That Work

As this engaging book makes clear, what we have in common is often much more powerful than the differences that divide us. Building empathy and trust, rather than trying to be right, offers a path toward positive changeon an individual level and for our culture at large.

Scott Barry Kaufman, PhD, host of The Psychology Podcast and author of Transcend

Dont let the title fool youthis book is as much about listening as it is talking. Lee Carter explains how if you want someone to listen to you, you have to start by listening to them. If you want to know how to shift someones mind-set, this practical book will help you see that the key ingredient is actually empathy.

J. Stuart Ablon, PhD, associate professor at Harvard Medical School and author of Changeable

As Lee Carter rightly points out, nobody today can afford to be a persuasion amateur. The very connections that sustain us and the aspirations that elevate us are at stake. Fortunately, she has created this smart playbook for a more effective, and far more human, approach to communication.

Matthew DiGirolamo, chief communications officer, LOral USA

In the world of politics, Lee sees the entire playing field. This book will teach you to tell your story for maximum impact.

Mitchell M. Roschelle, partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers

In this compelling book, Lee gives us a road map for how to climb out of the empathy chasm. For people who long to find the place of commonality where meaningful change can happen, this is the book.

Sharon Callahan, CEO, TBWA\Worldhealth

In Persuasion, Lee Carter puts a science behind the art of persuasion. She gives clear instruction on how to effect change through communication. Everyone from CEOs to schoolteachers, parents to pastors, will find this book deeply helpful. Many of the largest corporations in the world hire Lee Carter to help them communicate effectively. In Persuasion, she shares her best advice with us. If you want to communicate in a way that leads to change, read this book and apply it.

J. Josh Smith, pastor of Prince Avenue Baptist Church and author of Preaching for a Verdict

INTRODUCTION

WHEN FACTS DONT MATTER

Today, on the news and in social media, there is much bemoaning that facts no longer matter. By that, people mean that in a world where we have alternative truth and truthiness and consistent falsehoods being disseminated, facts no longer have the power to change minds. But I have to let you in on an industry secret: they never did.

In 1972, after news of the Watergate break-in made headlines, Richard Nixon still won reelection by a landslide because the facts at the time were open to interpretation. Just three years later, researchers at Stanford did the first study proving that people cling to their irrational opinions, even in the face of irrefutable evidence that they are wrong. The hundreds of studies that followed prove that people actually dig their heels in when presented with facts that contradict their beliefs. If you want to change minds, facts alone have never been enough.

The reasons are rooted in behavioral science. At a biological level our brains arent hardwired to look for facts. Instead we rapidly and automatically process opinions we agree with as if they are facts. In the study Thats My Truth: Evidence for Involuntary Opinion Confirmation, researchers Michael Gilead, Moran Sela, and Anat Maril showed not only that our opinions are change-resistant, but that we actually involuntarily reject facts that contradict our existing opinions.

To compound this, all humans suffer from confirmation bias. We search for information that confirms our opinions. And we cherry-pick the facts that support our point of view. Here is a cartoon that really gets to the heart of this.

Our desire to confirm our existing beliefs also leads us to minimize or ignore - photo 4

Our desire to confirm our existing beliefs also leads us to minimize or ignore data that doesnt fit our preferred view of the world. We can quickly dismiss factual information that does not agree with our worldview by labeling the new facts as somehow erroneous or limited. Said another way (shamelessly stealing from a former colleague): when confronted with facts that dont fit inside our frame, we throw away the facts and keep the frame (which is easier and less ego-threatening than getting a new frame).
