Persuasion Brief Skill

Persuasion isn't about the strength of your logic — it's about meeting the other person where they are and giving them reasons that matter to them. This skill builds the case to win someone over: it starts from their current belief and motivations, then assembles the argument, proof, and framing most likely to move them — combining the logical case with the human one, and handling the real objection.

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:

• The ask — what you want them to agree to, decide, or do.
• Who you're persuading — their role, their current view, and what they care about / are measured on / fear.
• Why they resist — the real objection (often unspoken: risk, effort, ego, precedent, budget).
• Your evidence — data, examples, credibility, social proof you can bring.
