Committed action

I have a formula that can be used to get someone into committed action. Done with honesty, an authentic sincerity, and emotional engagement, it can be used again and again. I would warn that using it insincerely and unethically, to manipulate, may work once or twice but will eventually back fire.
1. Share an occasion in which you were inauthentic. Explain the situation, the task, the activities and the end result.
2. Then share the personal and emotional impact of that inauthenticity
3. After that share with them a new, empowering, possible future (to make the possibility available such that they other person is touched, moved and inspired)
There may be occasions when, due to past upsets, that you may need to iterate these three steps a number of times, on a number of occasions before the listener is touched, moved and inspired. Do not move onto the next step without being certain that you have enrolled the listener in the possibility.
4. Once there has been an emotional shift in the listener you can ask them to commit to a specific action. Be concise. Explain that you want something from them; say what you want and by when you want it. For instance. “I have a request for you. Please would you do X by Y?”
They will say “Yes”, “No” or give some kind of counter offer. Each is an acceptable response. With an open and trusting relationship you will know the other persons emotional state. Every decision people make is based in, and dependent on, their state of mind. If you don’t like their decision, change their state of mind before you try to change the decision. However, if you are not trusted you will never be able to facilitate and emotional change.
