Influencing people starts with forming connections. Focus on building trust by being authentic, offering value, showing empathy and being honest in your communication. Make sure to pay attention to how your message is received and adjust accordingly. Additionally, use logical arguments that include data to back them up when possible. Be specific with your feedback or desired outcome and use stories or anecdotes for increased impact. Most importantly — be persistent but don’t resort to coercion or force the issue. Ultimately people need to want your idea in order for it to be successful — they need a way of connection that resonates with them and gets them invested in the decision making process  so that they will make decisions beneficial for you over time without much external encouragement needed from you personally

In order to influence people's thinking so that they make beneficial decisions for you, it is important to understand their point of view and show empathy. Acknowledge how they feel and find a way to link this back to what you want. It is also essential to have reliable evidence and facts at hand, as well as articulate the benefits of your desired outcome clearly. Additionally, offer trustworthy solutions and engage in constructive dialogue where all involved can learn together, thus making decisions based on mutual agreement rather than direct pressure from you.
