James Tripp – The Fundamentals of Non-verbal InfluenceJames TrippThe Fundamentals of Non-verbal InfluenceHypnosis Without Trance – The Fundamentals of Non-Verbal InfluenceMoving minds and creating impact through how you move, express and generally show upof all the elements that comprise influential communication……the Non-Verbal elements are easily the most important!Because if you can’t gain trust, if you can’t establish connection if you can’t communicate authority, you lack gravitas and presence and can’t lead the dynamic in terms of focus, emotion and ‘vibe‘……then all the hypnotic language patterns, values elicitation, anchoring work etc. will all fall to nothing!AND ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE COMMUNICATED NON-VERBALLY!TrustConnectionAuthorityGravitasPresenceFocusEmotionVibeAll of these things create the context for your linguistic and strategic work. But here’s the thing……even in the absence of smart and focused linguistic and strategic work, this stuff is still dynamite, because it is the basis for what we could call Gravitational Influence – the kind of influence that……effortlessly pulls people into orbit around you and creates within them a desire to follow your lead!(there is much to be said for this form of influence – it is not a Machiavellian manipulation but a powerful and congruent way of being in the world that starts from the inside out… but more on that another time).Gravitational Influence is a powerful thing to develop, and the more of it you ‘have’, the more things will just go your way in life. And be clear……it is 100% something that can be learned.And a key part of that learning is understanding the non-verbal dynamics!Ironically, 10 years on from being that disempowered data-inputter, I have people from time to time say things to me like:“It’s all right for you, you have natural confidence!â€And why do they say that? Because they draw an unconscious assumption based upon LEARNED non-verbal skills! LEARNED SKILLS – and……you can learn these skills too!
