Today we are going to finish our Crash Course on Linguistic Presuppositions. To this point we have covered what Presuppositions are, where they come from and the different areas in which they are categorized. In this last post we are going to talk about some of the ways in which Presuppositions can be used and I will give you a few examples to illustrate that. Now although Presuppositions are mainly considered a quantum linguistic, it really is their hypnotic capacity that gives them their “effective communication” strength. Presuppositions, when used will do major things to the recipient’s mind when they [...]

In following yesterdays post on manipulation of information delivery, let’s get right into the subsequent 2 categories of event prediction and sensory acuity… 1. Prediction of Events: When I say “prediction of events”, what I mean is the ability to assign a probability to whether someone is going to follow through on their assertions one way or another. Again, reading body language can only give you a view into one or both areas of congruence and general mental states. So although you won’t KNOW exactly what they are thinking, congruence or incongruence in their informational message and their nonverbally communicated [...]

For our purposes this refers to the system of communication and the term system comprises many things… Language, content, abstraction level, tonality, etc… and last but certainly NOT least is body language. Let’s talk a bit further about how and where incongruity happens and how we vet this out… Incongruence/congruence in body language communication happens in five major categories: Parts of this post are protected.

I think it is safe to say that the human race generally doesn’t like to be TOLD what to do. Why can’t you just “tell” someone what to do? Well, in some cases you can… If whatever you are proposing makes blatantly logical sense to both parties and there is equal benefit to both of them, then simply telling the other person what to do does work. The reality of the matter is that not all “scenarios” are created equal. What makes complete sense to one party on the first communication pass-through usually doesn’t make the same sense to the [...]

Today we are going to finish our 4 part professional listening series by talking about quality listening habits that you can begin developing right away and we will look at skill preparation and development at the Macro and Micro levels. First let’s talk about developing quality listening habits. There is simply no silver bullet for doing this. Countless studies have shown that NOT using old habits atrophies the neural net that produces the habit and REPETITION develops new neural nets that create new habits. So the first step is to bring cognition back into the picture. We have already talked [...]
