Whether you want your partner to quit eating so many sugary treats or your colleague to have a better attitude, you're in a powerful position to influence others. While lecturing or nagging doesn't work (and, in fact, can make things worse), there are proven strategies that can influence other people to change.
Developing a clear plan can help you guide someone to change their behavior without overstepping your bounds. Some of the things I share are:
- How to become a powerful influence
- How to identify what stage of change someone else is in
- How to employ motivational interviewing strategies that foster self-motivation
- What to focus on to motivate people to change
- How to handle setbacks so you can guide people back to creating change
