Attempting to persuade with….
Force treats the symptoms
rather than the underlying causes
Laws, directives, policies, etc. do not create a fundamental change in thinking and behaving

Feelings…Behavior change happens mostly by speaking
to a people’s feelings. (John Kotter)
People will forget what you said, forget what you did, but not forget how you made them feel. (Maya Angelou)
Our emotions drive our decisions and then we use logic and reason to justify our decisions.

Take-aways… A person needs 2 things to change:
Tension between present state and desired stateBelief in the ability to change
Facts, Fear, Force, Fix do not provide this
Persuasion calls for an appeal to emotion rather than to logicHelp individuals feel something– inspire them to
act.
