Master the psychology of persuasion to transform creative concepts into reality
Designers excel at solving problems but often struggle when presenting those solutions to clients and colleagues. This book addresses that gap directly, examining the psychology of persuasion and how creative professionals can communicate ideas more effectively. Jeroen van Geel dissects what happens in listeners' minds during presentations, helping you identify the core essence of your concept and structure your pitch around what actually drives decision-making.
The framework moves beyond generic presentation advice to address scenarios designers face daily: advocating for a specific methodology, defending concept choices, or navigating stakeholder disagreement. Van Geel explains how to adapt your approach based on audience and context, recognizing that pitching internally differs from client presentations.
At 128 pages, this compact guide delivers practical strategies without overwhelming theory. You'll learn to distill complex design thinking into compelling narratives, anticipate objections, and build genuine buy-in rather than superficial approval. Whether you're presenting to a single decision-maker or a room full of stakeholders, these techniques help ensure your strongest ideas actually get implemented. Essential reading for designers tired of watching inferior concepts win simply because they were pitched more effectively.
