spectacularly

Find common ground through asking the right questions and listening.
“Everything about you influences others.” Caroselli (2002)
You are not always the expert on what others need.Don’t wait to be asked for help; many people are struggling and not seeking help, but if we approach them correctly, they might appreciate the offer.
![Page 15: TALL Texans - Influence and Persuasion Len Bryan School Program Coordinator](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/5697bf851a28abf838c875be/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Provide evidence when asking for something; do your homework.
Learn what types of evidence your decision makers need, want, and prefer:Ask others - do they like stats, research, stories?Ask the decision makers - how would you like us to communicate?
![Page 16: TALL Texans - Influence and Persuasion Len Bryan School Program Coordinator](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/5697bf851a28abf838c875be/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Connect emotionally - no one cares how much you know until they know how much
you care.
Think about why you became an educator. Did you do so to manage policies, forms, procedures, & books, or was it to help people? Be honest; there is room for both types. Commit to the students.Show your passion for the work you do.
