These are the real NLP founders – THE experts at influence, rapport and state
Influence – A hypnotic capacity to make eye contact.
Rapport – The baby smiles – you smile.
State – An ability to cry that changes the state of you and everyone in the vicinity!
The lesson we can apply from babies – apply the persistence you did when you learned to walk (keep getting back up again and doing something different) and you will achieve amazing things.
Cats
Influence – Feed me (the number of times I have told my two cats its not their supper time, I tell them over and over, as they lead me to their bowls, and I then say “ok, just a little bit then”).
Cats (and people) will always judge you by what you do, far more than by what you say.
Rapport – Less is more. An outstretched paw, a purr, a look – all that is needed.
State – Living in the moment – for cats, the time is now and the place is here, and that’s just fine.
The lesson we can apply from cats – play it cool. If you want someone to be attracted to you, be respectful, not too familiar. And if you want people to follow you, don’t chase them, instead, set them free.
