Interview with a business mentor and psychometrics specialist Sukhi Wahiwala on How Your #Psychometrics Can #Influence Your #Behaviour In Hard / Challenging Times. 

Sometimes with the herd mentality, we can behave in ways that we may not be aware of. Seeing others and online content on how others are behaving can become a subconscious expectation and seeing this we may also follow along. 

An interesting question arises. How do we know we are conditioned when we don't know we are conditioned? 

It's in moments of reflection that we can pause and think about what we are doing or have done. When we become aware of our behaviours means we have progressed in the direct direction in helping not only our selves but those around us too. Are we going to get more community orientated in the weeks and months to come due to the #Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak

With Sukhi we discuss human behaviours based on DISC Psychometrics and take a look at how our traits may be influencing our behaviour.  

Join me as we have a conversation around this topic.

Philip Pullman once said: “After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.”  

We have been telling stories for thousands of years, sharing them even before the invention of writing. Telling a story is a very influential method that lets you connect and deliver a message to your audience in a way that resonates and helps them understand at a deeper level.

What you may not know is that stories are an integral part of influence and persuasion. 

Those in sales and marketing have known for a long time that stories trump data when it comes to persuasion because stories are easier to understand and relate to. A narrative uses both data and emotions which is way more effective in engaging a listener than just data alone.

But why start telling stories in the first place? 

Stories are able to transport our mind to another place, they have the power to make us imagine and see beyond what is possible for us. As napoleon hill said if the mind can conceive it and believe it , it can achieve it. And stores are a way to make that happen. 

So I invite you to join me on the journey as I speak to leading UK copywriter, author of 19 books and authority on making money with Kindle ebooks and Amazon paperbacks Chris Payne as he shares how stories can be used to connect with others to create meaningful connections both in your business and personal life.

In this episode, I share some tips on how not to get emotional or overwhelmed when reading your emails or text messages. 

Our mood and perceptions can influence the way we read information. Depending on one's state of mind what meaning we give to what we read in email and text can work for and against you. However, if you are aware that your mood and perceptions can influence your communication then you stand a better chance of addressing any potential issues that may arise. In this podcast, I share some tips on what to do and what not to do when reading a text-based communication.

#mood #peceptions #communication #email #textmessages 

Connecting with your audience in the digital world can bring up many challenges because the communication is not taking place face to face but through a medium which gets you talking one way. In most cases its wide net conversation because you may not be talking to or engaging directly with your target audience.  

Robert Louis Stevenson said, “Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant."  

What seeds are you sawing online?  

How do you keep an online audience engaged, entertained and buying with little to no resistance for years and years - so you don't have to keep looking for new leads and traffic?  

How do you turn strangers on the internet into superfans who see you as the only option to buy from because they trust you so highly that they buy whatever you recommend?

http://www.digital-rapport.com How #Thoughts, #Feelings and #Emotions can #Influence Your #Connection And #Rapport | David Key , how thoughts and feelings affect #behavior

What is mind? What is consciousness? what is thought ? 

How does the brain create and understand these things? 

Does the brain transmit and receive random meaning based of our own preconceived notions or does it process the bombardment of data on the 5 senses into something truly meaningful? 

Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force… could this be true for thoughts, feelings and emotions too?

The ancients say that when we get out of our own way and go with feeling and flow, we bypass conditioning   and become present to the moment….  

A balance of perceptions perhaps?

They say In this state of equilibrium, Judgments fall away, illusions are shattered and all that is left is right now ...a balanced perception and a cleaner connection with others. 

Join me on this journey as we talk to a leading UK personal growth expert, life coach and   3 principles practitioner  David key as he shares how your thoughts and feelings can influence your connection and rapport with others.
