Develops strong unconscious communication through subliminal persuasion
Why bother to practice MPTLB?
After browsing these pages you will appreciate the skill and ability it takes to develop Subliminal Persuasion and that it is effortless when you know how to create deep rapport. You will also value, given your own experience, that building rapport can be a challenge and at times impossible, making communication difficult and ultimately, destroy future opportunities. Paul McKenna and Derren Brown are two of the most outstanding people utilising subliminal persuasion and they know how challenging people can be, yet with ease and a professional approach they attain outstanding results, time after time. Do they have failures? Yes - and they consider these failures imperative feedback to help evaluate how and where to improve. Paul and Derren use the model MMPLB as the web to catch the spider. The degree of its strength, power and impact at the level of unconscious persuasion is down to how much you Trust and Believe in Yourself and the process.
The purpose behind the model MPTLB is to begin to explain through their behaviour and mental attitudes, how some people appear to have a natural ability to influence and persuade, generating a sense of instant Rapport with virtually everyone they meet. People find them engaging, easy to talk to on almost any topic, private or professional, with the obvious advantage in any influencing situation. The ability to influence and persuade is an awareness of the verbal and non-verbal messages we transmsit, and the attitudes of mind and expectations that drive them.
The Research
Among the first to publish material dealing with the topic of building rapport was Albert Mehrabian in 1972. In a series of controlled experiments, he was able to demonstrate non-verbal signals as being significantly more influential than the other stimuli. In his work, Mehrabian concentrated on the face as the source of the non-verbal information. Other researchers have since demonstrated similar results with the non-verbal data and now include the elements of posture, gestures and voice quality. The key message here is that 93% of our ability to influence and persuade is outside of the actual words we use.
A 1970 study conducted at the University of Pennsylvania by Dr. Ray Birdwhistle further concluded that 93% of our communication transpires non-verbally. Mirroring, matching, pacing and leading skills will enable you to become "like" the other person. Anthony Robbins stated: 'People who like each other tend to be like each other.'
Researchers at the Boston University Medical School studied films of people having conversations. The researchers noticed that the people talking began (unconsciously) to co-ordinate their movements (including finger movements, eye blinks and head nods.) When they were monitored using electroencephalographs, it was found that some of their brain waves were spiking at the same moment. Concluding that as the conversations progressed, and the mirroring, matching and pacing continued, that these people were deeply in rapport with each other. |
