How You're Stealing The Agenda and Eroding Your Credibility

You came into that conversation with something you needed to say. You knew what it was. You were ready. And somewhere in the middle of it the conversation went somewhere else entirely. Someone moved it without you noticing until it was too late.

That's your agenda being taken from you.

In this episode of How Words Work with Jack Fox, Jack breaks down exactly how this happens. From Russell Brand's response to Piers Morgan's direct questions about his past, to the relationship conversation where a genuine concern about whose needs are being met gets buried under birthday trips and declarations of love. And the pay rise conversation where the number never got discussed because the boss had other plans for where the conversation was going.

But first Jack turns the mirror around. Because before you spot this in others you need to know how you do it yourself. When you're nervous, defensive or uncomfortable you redirect too. And the people around you feel it even when they can't name it.
