Today's focus is on future pacing, a sales and communication technique that involves helping people visualize their problems being solved. The episode explores how future pacing can be used in various contexts, from sales and coaching to personal relationships, to help others envision positive outcomes and make decisions. Examples include using future pacing to understand a customer's project vision, motivating personal changes, and enhancing relationships by imagining positive scenarios.
