The Art of Ethical Persuasion with Derek Seckinger
Why influencing others isn’t a "sales tactic"—it’s the core skill for fulfilling your mission, hitting targets, and leading change.
We unpack how to wield influence with integrity, including:
- Persuasion as Leadership Fuel
Why every mandate—fundraising, hiring, negotiating—demands this skill (and how to reframe it beyond "selling"). - The Trust-Driven Communication Framework
Moving people to action through clarity, empathy, and value—zero pressure needed. - The Fine Line: Influence vs. Manipulation
Spotting the difference and ensuring your tactics serve others, not just your agenda. - Closing with Conscience
Derek’s non-sleazy strategies for securing commitments while strengthening relationships.

- Persuade authentically, without sounding "salesy"
- Turn resistance into alignment
