How To Convince with Lawyer Vince

Show Notes

Most people think the way to make someone regret dismissing you is to prove them wrong in the moment. That's not how it works.

In this episode of How to Convince, I break down what dismissal actually is, why it almost never has anything to do with you, and what the real response looks like because proving, shrinking, and reacting all make the problem worse.

If you've ever said something in a meeting and been ignored, only to watch someone else say the exact same thing and get applauded, this episode is for you.

This episode covers: What dismissal actually is and why it happens

Why snap judgments are almost always wrong

The three responses that accidentally confirm the dismissal

How to keep showing up at your actual level regardless of how you're being received

Why composure communicates more than confrontation

What makes someone's regret inevitable without you doing anything dramatic

Plus, listener Q&A on a partner venting to family about private relationship issues, a disengaged employee who used to be enthusiastic, and a mother-in-law undermining parenting decisions in front of the kids.

Comment "MAKE THEM REGRET IT" if this resonated with you.
