Description
Zoe Chance wants you to be charismatic on climate  What really changes people’s minds? Is it passionate argument, cold hard facts, or winning over the most famous people on the planet?  Climate folk have been trying all of the above for decades: with mixed results. But the most powerful tool of all is one we so often discount: speaking our personal truth to those closest to us.   Zoe Chance is Assistant Professor of Marketing and Senior Lecturer at Yale School of Management, where she teaches the top-ranked MBA elective ‘Mastering Influence and Persuasion’. She is on a mission to turn us all into the charismatic leaders the climate needs – with a few simple hacks from the latest behavioural science.  Zoe tells her story of going from shy child, to running a $200m Barbie brand, to becoming a world-expert in the science of persuasion and author of Influence is your Superpower.   At the same time, she has been on a decade-long journey to becoming a climate activist.    It’s a fascinating tale, and Zoe is such a natural conversationalist  To find out how to supercharge your climate influence – with a little help from cutting-edge behavioural science, listen in. ...what is going to change the worlds of the climate crisis influences...? what makes almost anything important happen.
