2022-06-13 15:45:22 Choose the right seat or sit your interlocutor yourself

When negotiating, it's important to have the right seat. If you need to reprimand your opponent, set up a conflict, show that you are on opposite sides of the barricades, it is necessary to sit opposite him or him to sit opposite. The position "opposite" always implies rivalry.

If it is necessary to carry out a partner dialogue on equal terms, it is necessary to sit down at an angle close to a straight line. Well, if it is necessary to have a dialogue "soul to soul", it is necessary to sit next to each other. That is how couples in love sit on benches, sofas and back rows of cinemas.

If it is necessary to have a confidential conversation with a subordinate in the office, you should ask him to sit down on the sofa, if there is one in the office, of course, before offering him a cup of tea. Or turn your chair around so that you are in a "side-by-side" position. Open / Comment

2022-06-12 18:25:17 Other people's eyes are your best companion

We've all heard the phrase "The eyes are the mirror of the soul," right? Then why do so few people use it to their advantage? There's nothing terrible about it, you're just able to predict a person's action and reaction.

Let's talk about pupils.

It has been found that the size of the pupil reflects the confidence in the decision we make.
If a person lacks determination, his pupils dilate. This is because he is stressed by his lack of confidence, he is excited, and his own eyes are giving him away.

Ask the person a question or make a suggestion, and then watch their eyes.
If you see the pupils dilate, try to "push" the person a little to persuade him or her.

2022-06-11 21:25:14 Look dignified, but not arrogant.

I would like to point out that a pleasant appearance is advantageous, but it can also be a disservice.

The danger is this: a person dressed better than others feels powerful and often begins to behave condescendingly. And this is repulsive.

Remember, the one whom you are trying to convince, a priori above you: he has the right to say "no".
So it is worth striving to look good, but not to appear the best. Open / Comment

2022-06-10 13:54:04 Don't create boundaries!

In some situations, we create boundaries with our gestures, postures, and actions, without noticing it. And then any manipulation is much more difficult.

Let me explain clearly. Never put bags, books and other things between you and your interlocutor if you are sitting next to him.

At the table try to put as few objects as possible between you (if we are not talking about some visual charts, diagrams, etc.).

If you have some thing that you have nowhere to put it, if possible hold it with one hand, not two. Why?

When we hold something with two hands in front of us, it creates a sense of a closed posture, as if you are shielding yourself from the person you are talking to. Open / Comment

2022-06-05 15:15:14 Indifference is the path to success

Indifference is an excellent choice for manipulation. We all remember those stories from high school when a guy runs after a girl and she "doesn't care.

And he starts running around even more. Sound familiar?

How to apply it?

Show the object of manipulation that you have little to lose if he does not agree to your terms. You can also "finish" the phrase "if you're against it, I understand.

Such a behavior you convince the victim that she needs you more than you do in her.

In the meantime, the chances of your success increase. Open / Comment

2022-06-04 20:27:36 Psychological effects that drive our behavior, even if we don't realize it

The Frog in Boiling Water Syndrome

This syndrome is based on a real experiment: If you put a frog in water of a comfortable temperature and turn up the heat gradually, the frog will spend all its energy on stabilizing its body temperature and, when the water boils, it will not be able to jump out and die.

If you put a frog in a container of boiling water, it will jump out at once.
