Ethics, Morality and Persuasion

Greetings,

Persuasion has it's interesting extremes. The extremes
are in the area of ethics.

Just recently I've done two interviews that are good examples
of these extremes.

The first interview is with Dr. Nathan Wei, a doctor who now
helps other doctors build their practices. As most people
know, doctors take a vow to treat people with a standard of ethics
that is written down and codified. Top of the list is "Do no harm."

Dr. Wei's interview can be downloaded from my MP3 download
site at www.changework.com/audio/ with the title "Using
Persuasion Ethically and Profitably".

On the other extreme is my second interview with author,
adventurer and renegade persuasion expert Jack Ellis. Jack
got his persuasion training by studying cult leaders like
Charles Manson and Jim Jones. You can listen to
my interview with Jack at http://www.MindControl101.com .

There is no doubt that Dr. Wie and Jack are on far ends of
the persuasion extreme, most interesting is that even the
cynical renegade persuasion expert Jack Ellis demonstrates
a set of ethics when using persuasion. Jack's code of ethics
has it's own twist of "Do no harm." but the twist
is around what you might consider "harm".

Oh the power of reframing!

The reason I'm telling you all this is that as you begin to
use your knowledge of persuasion you *WILL* develop a
personal code of ethics; things you would and wouldn't do
with these powerful skills.

Most humans don't start out with a set code of ethics. We
learn them from our environment and conclude them by
experience. In fact our ethics tend to be dynamic and change
over time and depending on certain situations. At our core
there are a few values that we would not violate regardless
of our situation.

Take some time to review your own code of ethics... it may
be time to update them.
