I'll try not to have any spoilers for those of you who watch GOT but read slowly just in case!
Most who watch this show realize how beautifully it is written, and I was able to sit down and really pay attention to the most recent episode (S5E03). It my eyes, it was filled with a lot of helpful tidbits on how to deal with people.
Brienne (the huge blonde warrior) is quite notorious for being a hard a$$ and not letting others in because of her past. In this episode she opened up A LOT, but why?! If you didn't pick up on it, it's beautifully simple.
Her Squire, Gendry, was genuinely interested and completely nonjudgemental of her. When they sat down to set up camp, he paid her complements that were 100% true, not just to kiss her a$$. His intent was not get on her good side, but rather to just learn as much as possible about/from her and in turn built up staggering rapport. She completely opened up to him about her past and offered to teach him how to become a great fighter. This scene is straight out of How to Win Friend and Influence People, people.
Another great scene contained Peter Balish/little finger and Sansa Stark and showed how great of a salesperson/influencer Peter is. I'll try not to give away much for those who haven't seen it yet. The two of them are on a journey and Sansa begins to resist the journey when she realizes that Peter had another intent the entire time. This devastated Sansa as it would mean her world is once again being turned upside down. Peter was able to steer the conversation and convey the pain that would come from going back, and the pleasure of following through with the journey.
I don't remember that scene quite as well, but I highly advise studying it because it's quite powerful and more importantly practical.
If anybody else has tidbits they have learned from this show that can be implemented into every day life, I'm sure everyone would love to hear it.
p.s. Sorry for any grammar mistakes I'm in a hurry here!!
