In this episode of the Legend Effect Podcast, host Howie Chan interviews Brian Ahearn, one of only a dozen people in the world certified to teach Dr. Robert Cialdini's method, and who has trained thousands of professionals on how to ethically move people to action.
They delve into how to become more persuasive by serving instead of manipulating, as well as the everyday influence that shapes our lives. The discussion emphasizes the importance of not only learning or teaching the principles of ethical influence but also living them out.
Brian provides powerful models and frameworks to help you apply the principles of persuasion and influence, such as the T.I.M.E. method, the DEAL Model, and the Core Motive Model. He also shares how all of this can be used in real-life situations with stories of how he has successfully used these principles himself.
