ABOUT TODAY'S EPISODE:

Can a toddler teach you how to close the deal, win a debate, or transform a relationship? In Episode 68 of Daily Persuasion with Joshua Lisec, titled “How to Change Someone’s Mind ft. How to Talk to a Toddler,” Lisec delivers a masterclass in micro-moment influence—starting with the littlest persuaders in your life.

If you’ve ever wondered how to change someone’s mind without pressure, guilt, or confrontation, this episode is for you. Lisec shows that the best persuasion techniques aren’t reserved for boardrooms or sales calls—they start at home, especially with young children. By teaching his own kids how to talk to a toddler persuasively (yes, toddlers persuading you), he reveals breakthrough insights into persuasion psychology that apply universally.

From humorous parenting moments to powerful examples of persuasion in advertising and life, Joshua Lisec unveils how the best way to persuade is to make others feel good about saying yes. And it starts with what he calls the "tag question" strategy. Instead of commands like “Do this now,” you guide the listener with curiosity and cooperation: “Wouldn’t it be fun to do this together, wouldn’t it?” This approach works wonders whether you're figuring out how to discipline a 2 year old boy, navigating parenting tips for preschoolers, or closing a client.

Lisec doesn’t just theorize—he demonstrates. Throughout the episode, he provides practical persuasion examples that take you from theory to action. You’ll hear how he used persuasive techniques to guide a strong-willed child, yes—but also how those same principles apply when trying to figure out how to persuade someone to do something they may initially resist.

Whether you’re trying to improve discipline strategies for toddlers or facing high-stakes negotiations, the key is the same: start small, and start with what the other person already agrees with. This is the overlooked magic behind how to change anyone’s mind—not by force, but by facilitating emotional alignment and trust.

You’ll also learn how this applies to the inner game: how to persuade yourself. From fitness goals to business breakthroughs, Lisec shares how self-persuasion kickstarted his 18-month transformation by asking the simplest question: “What’s the smallest step I’m actually willing to do?” In persuasion, as in life, the win isn’t forcing the outcome—it’s guiding a yes that feels effortless.

In Daily Persuasion with Joshua Lisec Ep. 68, you’ll walk away with actionable answers to:
• How to talk to a toddler so they listen and learn.
• How to discipline a strong-willed 2 year old without punishment or permissiveness.
• Persuasion techniques you can use in parenting, sales, relationships, and self-development.
• How persuasive techniques in writing mirror the subtle art of conversational influence.
• Real-world examples of persuasion in advertising and how you can apply the same models in everyday life.

Whether you're a parent, entrepreneur, teacher, or just trying to master the art of influence, Joshua Lisec delivers clarity, humor, and tools you’ll use immediately. The episode blends persuasion psychology with heartfelt family insight, making it one of the most relatable and practical episodes to date.
