[Ep. 30] The Art of Influence w/ Bas Wouters
Can the tactics of influence be both ethical and effective? This episode features Bass Wouters, the CEO and co-founder of the Cialdini Institute, and author of the thought-provoking book "Online Influence."
Join me, Mike Vera, as we delve into the mechanics of persuasion and the ethics that surround it. What tools and tactics does Bass Wouters utilize to foster positive change in individuals and businesses? How does he navigate the ethical tightrope of influence, especially in areas directly impacting health?
This isn't just an intellectual exercise; it's a practical guide. Whether you're a fellow health coach wrestling with the ethics of persuasion or a critical thinker interested in the dynamics of influence, Bass Walters offers actionable insights that you can apply immediately.
As a special treat, we engage in a real-time thought experiment to develop a fictitious influence campaign, echoing a similar experiment from one of our earlier episodes. The episode closes with essential advice for health coaches on how to ethically influence clients towards better health decisions without crossing ethical boundaries.
