How They Persuade: Todd Herman

Todd's biggest OMG moment in business When one of his former business partners embezzled all of the money out of the business. Biggest FML moment Having his then girlfriend leave him for someone more successful at the time because she didn't believe he was going to amount to much (oh sweet karma)   Biggest WTF moment Touching down in South Africa to help all of the black managers and leaders inside of the South African government with their leadership and confidence skills, HOW TODD PERSUADES A client makes an unwanted physical advance. How do you respond?  I would say, I really appreciate the you know, affection or just the thought, but I'm a super happily married guy and I would be doing a terrible injustice to my two little girls if dad represented the family this way. So, you know, thanks but no thanks. Someone buys your product, plagiarizes it and sells it as their own. How would you deal with that situation? I would certainly get a lawyer to draft up a cease and desist. I would just lawyer up, first. Secondly, I would absolutely email that person to let them know.   You suspect that someone in your office or in your business is working against you. How do you approach the situation without causing a stir? I would approach them and say: "Hey just wanna let you know that, a couple of different people who kind of really look up to you have come to me and let me know that you're saying some things about me behind my back. Now whether they're true or not, I don't know, because I haven't heard them myself. But I just wanna let you know that there is this perception out there that you are talking about the organization and I just wanna let you know..."   You quoted something in an article or in a speech or on a webinar and it's wrong and someone calls you out on it. How would you respond? I'd admit I was wrong, I'm always coachable in the moment.
