The Shocking Truth About How You Are Being Manipulated and What You Can Do About It! There are things you know you know There are things you know you don’t know AND There are things you don’t know you don’t know! “Knowledge is Power.” Sir Francis Bacon The one of the keys to a happier and more empowered life is the knowledge of how to be a positive influencer of oneself and others. This is now becoming essential to know because most of us realise that ‘our best interest’ isn’t particularly high on the agenda of anyone other than close friends and family. To become a positive influencer, we first need to understand the rules of the influencing ‘game’.

And the game? The majority of our decisions come directly from our unconscious programming.
To state the obvious, this means we are not consciously aware of this programming. It operates in the background just like a computer programme. We see the results of the programming on the computer screen but we don’t know exactly how it got there.
It is concerning to me that we believe we are making our own conscious choices. We believe we’re in conscious control of our own decision making process! We don’t realise that we are being manipulated both overtly and covertly.
The sources of this unconscious programming are many and varied. We develop rules, values and beliefs given to us by parents, school and society which are hard wired into our unconscious minds. Our life experiences also add to this programming. And we unconsciously teach others how to treat us. Our unconscious minds are also being specifically targeted by external forces who want to covertly manipulate our decision making process. These forces are the big corporates who want us to purchase their products and services through their advertising/selling and politicians and those in positions of authority who want our support/votes.
There are various tactics used, however the basic objective is to:-
-Bypass the conscious critical mind and
-Embed information/instructions into the unconscious mind
So the PART ONE of the workshop is to equip you with the knowledge and understanding of their ‘game’ so that you can identify the tactics being used to covertly influence you. You’ll clearly see that these tactics are not being used with your best interest at heart but with the interest of the influencer.
And PART TWO is to show you how you can use this knowledge to influence yourself and the decision making process of others.
This brings up the issue of ethics. This workshop is being run on the basis that this knowledge is used ethically and for the good of all concerned. This knowledge can be used to create wonderful win/win opportunities in all areas of your lives. It can be a powerful tool for positive change.
So to give you a taster of the kind of things you’ll be learning in the workshop, I’m going to share with you two techniques. Both are extremely powerful techniques in their own right, however if you appreciate they are just a small part of what you’ll learn when you come on the Ethical Influencing workshop.....
