Mastering Ethical Persuasion: Strategic Communication and Trust-Building with Michael Reddington, CFI

Today on Your Partner In Success Radio, I’m joined by Michael Reddington, CFI—an executive resource, author, and the President of InQuasive, Inc. Michael specializes in the fascinating art of turning resistance into commitment using strategic, ethical persuasion rooted in human behavior.

What makes his approach so compelling is the path that brought him here: he started in the world of investigations while finishing his business degree, and became captivated by one big question—why do people reveal sensitive truths in high-stakes situations? That curiosity led him to become a Certified Forensic Interviewer, the highest credential in his field. Now, he helps leaders across industries apply these same techniques to build trust, gather insight, and communicate with impact.

He is also the author of The Disciplined Listening Method, a powerful guide that teaches readers how to use strategic observation and questioning to build trust, uncover truth, and communicate with influence. That book is an important part of my entrepreneurial library!
