The Amygdala
The amygdala is your brains emotional control centre and it's fast.
When someone tells you a story your brain goes into action and before you know it a similar story in your past has popped into your mind.
And so does the emotion that went with it. Sadness, frustration or joy.
That emotion comes from the amygdala, your reptilian brain or as we prefer to say your gecko brain.
The amygdala thinks in images and attaches an emotion to that image.
You see a snake and you are jumping over it even bore the rationale mind has registered the danger.
Which brings us to the next point.
Humans NOT Consumers
The problem for communication is the amazing speed of the human brain.
If you want to get a person's attention you must stimulate their subconscious brain. Their Gecko.
If you fail to do that their brain goes into neutral and you have to work very hard to recapture their attention.
To get their unconscious mind to take notice you have to evoke an emotional response.
Even when you are face to face with the person decision maker are you addressing the 'real' decision maker, that person's unconscious brain?
If you aren't You should be because 95% of all decisions are made at the unconscious level way before the rationale brain has even registered.
Are you 'really listening?
Think about it. What happens when you are talking with another person?
Are you really listening or just waiting for your turn to speak?
Have you ever wander off and thought about other things even when someone is still speaking to you?
And When someone has said something you strongly disagree with have you been aware of your feelings?
Is it possible that you reacted not to what the person said but your feelings at the time?
And what about your children? Do you know that their stories tell you a lot about what is happening for them in their world?
Do you believe that listening plays a major role in your relationships?
Would you like to take your listening skills to the next level?
Do you feel that there is too much conflict and arguing in your life?
Would you like to handle conflict more effectively?
Are your expectations in alignment with your employer or partner?
Do you want to make a difference in your world?
