We discuss:

- Every day we’re faced with moments where we either win or lose - whether it’s trying to convince your boss to approve your leave, secure a business deal or even win an argument with friends. So, what’s the key to winning more of the time?
- How can we tweak our communication style to be more persuasive in everyday life?
- Is there a process we can adopt to get more strategic on the art of persuasion?
- Take away: What is your final takeaway message for us on The Politics of Persuasion?
