Mentally Stronger with Therapist Amy Morin

174 — How to Influence People to Change Without Overstepping Your Bounds


Listen Later

Whether you want your partner to quit eating so many sugary treats or your colleague to have a better attitude, you're in a powerful position to influence others. While lecturing or nagging doesn't work (and, in fact, can make things worse), there are proven strategies that can influence other people to change.

Developing a clear plan can help you guide someone to change their behavior without overstepping your bounds. Some of the things I share are:

  • How to become a powerful influence
  • How to identify what stage of change someone else is in
  • How to employ motivational interviewing strategies that foster self-motivation
  • What to focus on to motivate people to change
  • How to handle setbacks so you can guide people back to creating change
