Lee Hartley Carter discusses why facts alone won’t persuade others—and what does. You’ll Learn:1) Why you need more than just facts2) The foundations of compelling persuasion3)How to craft your master narrative  About LeeLee Hartley Carter is president of maslansky + partners, a language strategy firm based on the single idea that "It's not what you say, it's what they hear."
