Triangle of Influence

Jevon discusses his “Triangle of Influence  – 3 keys to lowering resistance and getting to yes” with us.  He explains that like the three sides of a triangle, there are three aspects to consider when negotiating and getting to a yes:  Get over being right, quit resisting, and support the identity, but change the behavior.

#1     Get over being right

• It is never about being right.  Remember that the other person knows that they are “right” as well.
• It is about find out what works in a situation
• You must go to the agreed upon vision or outcome for the most effective result.

#2    Quit Resisting!

• What you resist persists.
• Come from fascinating instead of frustrating.

#3    Support the Identity

• People have an automatic inclination to speak to another person’s identity.
• If they sense that you are speaking to their identity they will automatically go to a position of defense.
• A more workable outcome comes from supporting the identity and working  to change the behavior.
