The Power of Planting a Seed
Briefly

The article explores the often subconscious nature of change and influence in human behavior. It highlights how concepts like unconscious goal activation, priming, and framing contribute to this subtle process. Change may not be immediate but occurs step-by-step as advice or feedback embed themselves in our subconscious. The notion that we may not recognize the influences shaping our decisions illuminates the complexity of personal growth. It emphasizes that how we communicate information plays a crucial role in how messages are received and acted upon, stressing the importance of planting ideas over immediate acceptance.
Change and influence don't happen in the moment, but rather work behind the scenes.
