785: Josh Bandoch, part 1: Teaching persuasion and leadership
I participated in an online workshop in influence and persuasion that Josh led. We got in touch afterward and found our approaches to the practices and how to learn them overlap. We start this episode talking about his background and what led him to learning and training others in the practices. Then we talk about what we like about learning and practicing them, what works, what doesn’t, misconceptions, and other aspects. Some related subjects include authority, extrinsic emotions, management, and such.
We practiced the Spodek Method, him experiencing it for the first time. In this first conversation, he only experienced being led to share what the environment means to him and coming up with a commitment to help evoke that meaning. You can hear that beyond just participating in the exercise, he’s also analyzing it as a professional. We’ll have to wait for his second exercise to hear his experience and analysis of the whole exercise.
