Negotiate Anything: Negotiation | Persuasion | Influence | Sales | Leadership | Conflict Management

What if changing someone’s mind isn’t about being right — but about understanding how people actually think? In this Negotiation Masterclass edition of Negotiate Anything, Kwame Christian curates three powerful conversations that unpack one of the hardest challenges in communication: influencing deeply held beliefs. Drawing from psychology, change management, and behavioral science, this episode explores why people resist change, how strong opinions are formed, and — most importantly — what actually helps minds open instead of shut down . You’ll hear from a persuasion scientist who breaks down why confidence and emotion don’t always mean an opinion is unchangeable, a change-management expert who reveals why resistance is often a signal — not a setback — and a renowned science journalist who explains the surprising techniques used to help people rethink even their most entrenched views.
