It’s all in your head — and theirs.
Last week, we talked about why our brains hate goals. This week, here’s a powerful, easy-to-use idea on how to make goals and requests more irresistible to the part of our brain that decides to take action.
It’s a simple shift: watch the language you use.

This three-minute video shows you the neuroscience behind why it works, as well as offering some examples so you can start using it.
Frame your goals and requests in a way that speaks to how people like to see themselves. You’ll be surprised at the increased cooperation you get!
