BECOMING A CATALYST: HOW TO CHANGE ANYONE'S MIND

 

Everyone has something they want to change. Successful change agents know that it's not about pushing harder or providing more information; it's about being a catalyst. Catalysts remove roadblocks and reduce the barriers to change. Instead of asking, "How could I change someone's mind?" they ask a different question: "Why haven't they changed already? What's stopping them?" Overcoming resistance by reducing friction and lowering the hurdles to action.

This program will help you discover the hidden factors that impede change, why inertia is your biggest competitor, and why big changes require asking for less, not pushing for more. Whether you're trying to change how consumers think, motivate people to act, or shift the way an entire industry does business, this program will teach you how to become a catalyst.
