Pedja Stojicic and Jacob Waxman recently teamed up to create a powerful video that shows us how to speak truth to power, even in the most challenging situations (Heart challenge). In this video, they use the art of role-playing to demonstrate three different models of how to approach someone in power when making demands.
As you watch, you’ll see Pedja take on the role of the students’ representative, while Jacob becomes the dean. With each model, Pedja approaches the dean in a different way, showcasing the power of effective communication and negotiation skills. By the end of the video, you’ll see that the third model is the closest to what’s actually needed in organizing, leaving you feeling empowered and ready to take on any challenge that comes your way!
