I’m actually writing this on the beach, it may only be Bournemouth, but the sun is shining, the sand is warm between my toes, and my ice cream is sweet and delicious. . .
Those of you who experienced the Power of NLP Anchoring at my last Foundation Seminar understand that this is one of the key skills that make the difference between a simply good and truly great communicator. . .
Mastering this 1 skill alone will transform the way you communicate with your boss, loved ones, clients, in fact everyone you interact with. So are you sitting down and relaxed? I’ve finished my ice cream, and wiggled my toes in the water. Good you are about to learn one of the best NLP & covert persuasion secrets available!
"It may seem silly, but do you like to enjoy yourself?"
Each emotional state that you occupy has a specific physiology. For those of you who are new to the power of covert anchoring check out the description in the skills section. Everything from your voice tone to your posture, facial expressions, body movements and attitude. When you shift states all of these things change.
Think about it. When you are worried, angry, neutral, curious, relaxed and happy you have completely different attitude. Or to look at it a different way... Think of something that you saw, wanted, you knew you wanted it, and it was perfect for you - and yet you didn’t buy it. Can you remember that little feeling of regret? Now, notice how much better it feels when you, Think of something that when you look at it - you absolutely have to have it. You bought it - and you felt delighted with it. Notice that change in physiology, notice how delighted you feel.
This is one of the key learnings at a Persuasion Skills seminar. Now if you’d like to install an emotional state in someone like being happy, then you should feel happy!
You) I love this restaurant, everyone is so friendly and relaxed, eating out with my friends is one of my favourite ways to relax.
Friend) Umm it is nice here.
You) What do you do to relax?
Friend) I know it sounds silly but I really like running - I live opposite a park and I just love running through there on early summer mornings it's so quiet and relaxing
You) That sounds really lovely, what’s the best bit? As they describe the run they will access the memory and emotional state as they reach the peak of it (i.e. feeling really really good) you can anchor it!
"But How?" I hear you ask!
With Persuasion Skills & NLP you can do it tonally, spatially or even with a gesture - you can see some pictures of me anchoring with a gesture - brushing my hair at my last seminar - thanks to Simon C owner of the Derren Brown Master Mentalist Website who posted these!
Now it’s important that as they go into this state go there yourself imagine how good it feels, and brush your hair!! Then return to your normal state. Wait for a few minutes and start to feel those relaxed feelings again and say something like "it’s so nice here" And as she says "yes" fire the anchor (brush your hair) Your very good friend (by now) will re-enter that relaxed state and associate those good feelings with you!
Then whenever you meet your friend again - brush your hair and they will instantly relax. . .
I can’t tell you how powerful this skill is if you’d like to learn more I will be teaching even more of the nuances in my next Foundation Seminar. And for those who have already attended my last Foundation Seminar take your NLP and Persuasion Skills even further in my Advanced Secrets of the Experts Workshop
When I first learnt this skill I used to anchor arousal - it’s great every time I rubbed my nose they’d go red!! Learning to Covertly Anchor Anybody is one of the best investments I ever made.
Every time I think of all the applications and all the times I use the skill and do it I feel even happier and more passionate about it. Now I use it in every possible Social and Business situation! Can you imagine how useful this is? It’s great to be able to make anyone feel happy when I see them, even if they had a bad day.
It’s also great in Job Interviews and negotiating Salary Increases! I won’t even tell you what happens when my best friend sees my business card . . .
"So, it may seem silly but you do like to enjoy yourself!"
