Make the Connection: NLP in Brief

Have you heard that NLP helps you connect with people in a way that gives you more influence? How does that work exactly? 1) Making the connection begins when you understand that all human brains work through connection: they connect new information to information that is similar or related and store it in patterns. 2) The brain prioritizes information about other people and even modifies your own brain to reflect what you are observing (it shows up as matching and mirroring). This allows your brain to be more accurate in predicting who will help you and who might hurt you. 3) Your brain automatically tracks people who are paying attention to you so the fastest way to get attention is to give it.

This active connection is the foundation for influence.
