Human Powered Quotes

“A rational commitment is something you agree to. Invite people to your meeting and, assuming they accept your invitation, they’ve made a rational commitment. Get them to emotionally commit and you significantly increase the chances of your meeting being successful. Emotional commitment taps into
people’s ‘why’. If someone emotionally commits to your meeting, they know why they’re attending and they deeply buy in to this reason.”

“Imagine the person you’re speaking with has a goldfish bowl for a head and their mouth is the tap that dispenses its water. Every time they speak, the tap opens and more water gradually comes out. Whenever you speak, you pour more water into their bowl and fill it up again. The more they’re able to empty their head of water, the more space there is for your water. Try pouring your water in there too soon and it overflows.”
