Ultimately, the BAGEL mnemonic functions as an extremely helpful Invisible Tool to assist in calibration, building rapport, communicating a message, detecting deceit, and just gathering (or communicating) overall more information more effectively. Often, the amount of information to look for and remembering where and what to look for (or listen for) when interacting with a person can be daunting. BAGEL solves this problem.

Putting it all together. To keep in mind all of the MASSIVE amounts of eye-accessing cues, kinesthetic language predicates, and all the micro-expression and NLP concepts that you have at your disposal when interacting with a person, use the BAGEL acrostic. There is literally a downpour of information if you tap into each letter.

1. Body Posture – Their posture, shoulder position, where their head is tilted, slumped or erect? All of that indicates an internal thought or feeling!!!!

2. Auditory – The tone of their voice reveals if they’re visualizing (higher pitch) or in touch with feelings (low, bass pitch) and more!

3. Gestures – Their gestures, their gait, all reveal which representational system they’re using. People point to their ears when listening and eyes when watching.

4. Eye-accessing Cues – the direction of their eyes reveals which representational system they’re using (VAK).

5. Language Predicates – If someone “hears the loud noise”, they’re using Auditory representational system. If they “see the commotion” they’re using visual representational system. If they “felt the rumble”, they’re using kinesthetic. Identifying language predicates is extremely valuable for pacing-and-matching and then leading or simply developing rapport with a person! :D
