E83: Be Convincing! Get Better at Influencing Others with Adele Gambardella & Chip Massey

Power Presence Academy | Leadership with Less Ego And More Soul

“The research shows that many of us do not develop new convincing techniques past the age of six. So, wherever your set point is in kindergarten or first grade, that's pretty much what you're going to do from a convincing strategy as an adult because most of us are too scared to try something new. We're only going to do what worked in the past.” - Adele Gambardella
