Abstract: Inherent in deliberative democracy is the possibility of individuals changing their position on an issue in response to persuasive communication. This is a case study of how a person in a position of power changed their mind about climate change in response to deliberations, then used their position to put on record their thought processes in changing mind. Reactions to the public announcement are explored, as are factors contributing to the change of mind and decision to publicly speak about it. Power dynamics that enabled the public discussion of changing mind are also discussed.
