It's a fact. Our body language and vocal tones account for 93% of our rapport and trust-building in the communication process. What does that say about social media communication? We can't see the body language of our SoMe associates,  We rarely hear their voices.  That leaves only our words - representing 7% of overall communication factors.  That doesn't sound like the foundation for powerful, clear communications, now does it?  Our Future and SoMe Separation By its nature, Social Media creates degrees of separation. That creates risk in that we just plain can't see the reality behind that darned avatar. Let's face it, we all know a fake gooroo, manipulative conman or just plain poser in our networks.

The Game of Blame

One of the distractions our Unconscious Mind (UM) uses is the blame game.  When something threatens the status quo of our UM, it will often use distraction to avoid that threat.

Big Data, Quantum Theory and Your Unconscious Mind

Every two days we create a quantity of information equal to the volume of information created between the dawn of civilization all the way to 2003. WOW. But even the largest data warehouse can't match the biggest data in our world. That data is happening right there inside you. It's called your unconscious mind. In a single day the average person is exposed to the same amount of information as a person in the 15th century was exposed to in a lifetime. In the first day of life, a baby receives a volume of information equivalent to 70 times the information housed in the Library o... (more)

Change Your Perception, Change Your Business Reality

The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend. ~  Robertson Davies On Wednesday we chatted about how our unconscious mind uses meta programs to process data from our senses, and why those meta programs tend to keep us stuck in the same perceptions and patterns. The good news is there are options to consciously shift our perspectives. The fastest way is to rest control away from our unconscious mind. By forcing our unconscious to activate our conscious logic, we sidestep the meta programs and step into fresh perspectives. Here are three tips to do just that for your b... (more)

10 Truths About the Unconscious You

The center that I cannot find is known to my unconscious mind. ~ Auden What if I told you that your unconscious mind actually controls your conscious mind? Not exactly what you had in mind, now is it? In my studies of neuroscience and neuro-practices, I've learned truths about our unconscious minds that literally blew me away. Many of the beliefs I'd been taught for decades became little more than urban myth.  I want to share some of these powerful truths with you. The more we understand about our minds, the easier it becomes to step into our full potential. Our minds are designed... (more)
