Why can two people present the same facts, yet lead us towards entirely different conclusions? And how do you uncover the information that can change the entire conversation in your favor? In this second Persuasion in Practice workshop, we’ll build on the foundations from our first session and explore how framing influences what people notice, how they interpret information and ultimately which decision they make. You’ll learn to recognise and utilise the frames that shape a conversation, and how to introduce a more persuasive one without distorting the truth. We’ll then explore how to uncover the hidden fears, priorities, constraints and pieces of information that can transform a conversation. Because effective persuasion is not just about presenting a stronger argument. It is mainly about asking the right questions and listening closely enough to discover which argument actually matters. Finally, you’ll put these principles, and the ones from workshop 1, into practice in The Bunker. Here you persuade the group that you deserve one of the scarce safe places after an apocalypse. New information will be revealed as the game progresses, forcing players to frame their value, address their weaknesses, uncover what others care about and adapt their approach under pressure. Afterwards, we’ll evaluate the results, and examine why identical roles produced different survivors. Did the most useful people make it into the bunker? Or the most persuasive?
