There are some people that are magical. You go into a meeting with your mind made up, and then 30 minutes later, you leave the meeting with a completely different mindset. And you don't know how they managed to convince you so successfully. If you could figure that trick out, most of your non-technical career problems would be solved. I've personally never learned this skill of persuasiveness, but I'd pay a lot of money if someone could teach me quickly.
