Hey there, needless to say, we influence/pursuade/convince people all the time (work/school/family) to get something (important/critical/urgent) done thats of benefit to you and others around you. So dig a little deeper and am sure you can come up with plenty of examples from your work/school life.
Once you have a good example in mind, its then a matter of delivering it impactfully. Storytelling comes in very handy. Have a look at this thread for some tips:https://www.preplounge.com/en/consulting-forum/how-to-answer-tougher-fit-questions-8190
Key aspects to keep in mind in influencing/convincing/pursuading scenarios:
- Think of win-win not win-lose
- Listen well, empathise with everyone involved in the scenario
- Ask questions, get their inputs and understand their thought process
- Remain calm and assure everyone that you are acting in best interest of them all
- Bridge the information/data gap to assure the other party i.e if they need more information/data how are you going to provide that
- Ideally arrive at the solution together and avoid being authorative (sometimes you have to if the situation demands)
Practice this a lot. This won't come to you overnight.
Check out youtube videos by Dan Ariely (famous behavioural economist) & Dan Pink (my personal fave writer on these subjects).
Good luck!
