    Ethical Persuasion For Therapists w/Patrick Van Der Burght

    Ethical persuasion helps clients reach a decision without pressure, guilt, or manipulation, and it works just as well in marketing as it does in the therapy room. We break down how people actually decide, why “no” often means indecision, and how to use persuasion science to increase follow-through and trust.  Today’s guest is Patrick van der Burght, who assists businesses and professionals to be ethically more persuasive, and he is a business partner of Dr Robert Cialdini. Dr Cialdini is the New York Times best-selling author who published the first edition of ‘Influence’ back in 1984, which has sold 7 million copies and is regularly found at the top of recommended business books lists.
