6 hostage negotiation techniques that will get you what you want. How does hostage negotiation get people to change their minds? The Behavioral Change Stairway Model was developed by the FBI’s hostage negotiation unit, and it shows the 5 steps to getting someone else to see your point of view and change what they’re doing. It’s not something that only works with barricaded criminals wielding assault rifles — it applies to most any form of disagreement. There are five steps: Active Listening: Listen to their side and make them aware you’re listening.Empathy: You get an understanding of where they’re coming from and how they feel.Rapport: Empathy is what you feel.
Rapport is when they feel it back. They start to trust you.Influence: Now that they trust you, you’ve earned the right to work on problem solving with them and recommend a course of action.Behavioral Change: They act.

Robert Cialdini explains the six ways to influence people - Interview: Dr. Robert Cialdini Dr. Robert Cialdini is the authority on the study of persuasion.

Bob went “undercover” to learn the secrets of used car salesmen, marketing professionals, telemarketers, and others who influence in order to survive.
He distilled his findings down to six universal principles of influence which anyone can use in their daily life. His company, Influence at Work, offers workshops that teach the principles to business professionals. I spoke with Bob about the six pillars of influence, the ethics of persuasion, and the best way to ask for a raise. My conversation with Bob was almost an hour long, so for brevity’s sake I’m only going to post edited highlights here.

I’ve been here for almost two years now, and though I loved Community Theater as a kid, I never so much as researched acting classes until a couple weeks back. I frequently said I wanted to do it, along with painting classes, which I’m starting next week, but I always made excuses not to start either.
I was too busy. The list went on and on, but I realized the last two were the big ones for me. Also, I hesitate to give large amounts of time to hobbies I have no intention of pursuing professionally. I realized last month, however, that I want to prioritize more of the things that make me feel passionate and excited—and not just occasionally, but regularly.

Thought-provoking questions are deep inquiries that shine a light on the essence of living and awaken our full potential as human beings.

In the same way, you know yourself better by asking yourself the right questions.
