1. Reduce Reactance, Don’t Trigger Resistance

People resist being pushed. Instead of forcing change, encourage autonomy and let others feel they’re choosing freely. Ask questions rather than giving commands.

2. Shrink the Distance

Too much change feels overwhelming. Break your message into smaller, relatable steps. Meet people where they are and move them gradually toward change.

3. Highlight the Costs of Inaction

People often stick to the status quo. Instead of only promoting benefits, make the cost of doing nothing visible—what they lose by staying the same.

4. Remove Uncertainty

Uncertainty kills action. Provide social proof, guarantees, or trial opportunities to reduce fear and make taking the first step easier.

5. Find the Movable Middle

Not everyone is ready to change. Focus your efforts on those who are open but undecided, rather than trying to convert the extremes.

6. Let People Own the Idea

Change is more effective when people feel ownership over the decision. Guide them to discover insights themselves instead of telling them what to think.

7. Empathy is More Persuasive Than Argument

Understanding people’s true barriers—emotional, social, practical—allows you to remove friction rather than just adding more facts or pressure.
