#3562: Why Tone Overrides Logic In Persuasion

Most people think persuasion is about having the best argument, but I know tone decides whether your logic even gets heard. If someone is already in judgment mode, the strongest reasoning won’t matter because they’ve chosen not to receive it. Your tone tells people if you are certain, defensive, or needy before they process your words. In this episode, I explain why communication works from the inside out, not just from the content you say. When your tone is strong and clear, your logic finally gets a chance to land.

Show Notes:

[15:12]#3 Emotional containment makes your argument feel inevitable.
