1
We talked about how responsive human beings are when it comes to authority.
2
If you're wanting to seriously take charge of a group or really influence another person at a deep level, you're going to need for them to see you as the authority in the room.
3
And there are five tripwires that take place in another person's head.
4
These five tripwires are movement, appearance, confidence, connection, and intent.
5
Let's walk through those five right now.
6
Movement is how you move your body and I'm going to give you some tactics on doing that.
7
Appearance is just your overall appearance.
8
We tend to see people that are hygienic, that have a healthy appearance, to be more authoritative.
9
Next we have confidence and you've already got a perfect toolbox to leveling up your sense of confidence in the field.
10
Next is connection.
11
Connection means am I fully checked in, am I fully tuned in to what I'm doing in this moment?
12
This is also part of the Hughes Authority inventory that you downloaded in that module when we talked about authority.
13
The final element here is intent.
14
Intent means do I have a clear intent of what's going on?
15
We talked about this when we talked about confidence.
16
Do I have a generalized expectation of positive outcomes?
17
Also, having a great intent of I intend to help another person, I intend to do good, I intend to do something good for another person.
18
Just having that level of intent for other people gives you somewhat of an internal hall pass
19
or internal permission slip to have unstoppable confidence.
20
And when you're moving through the world, you are always creating gut feelings in other people whether you like it or not.
21
It's always going to happen.
22
So having a very good intention for what you're doing
23
and having a clear intention in your mind for your end
24
goal of what you want to accomplish is the best way to create great gut feelings in other people.
25
So let's really dive into the movement aspect of this
26
because that's what I think is most important for you to grasp as an operative.
27
The first thing I want you to remember is your posture.
28
is incredibly important
29
and one thing I want you to take away from this is are your ears over your heart
30
and is your heart over your pelvis it's the one thing I want you to take away from this
31
and just being able to process
32
that question not being rigid not being stiff can you have good posture
33
and still be comfortable so my ears should be over my heart and my heart should be over my
34
Just having those in alignment
35
and still being comfortable is one of the fastest ways to trigger
36
that movement tripwire that lets somebody know that you are the authority figure.
37
One quick way that I teach my clients to remind themselves about posture is
38
when they get in their car I tell them to adjust
39
their mirror to where it's tilted up just a little bit
40
to where it forces them to straighten their body to see out of the rear view mirror of their vehicle.
41
And if you start doing this, you're going to get into a habit of adjusting your posture throughout the day.
42
It's just one quick thing that you can do to help remind yourself to have better posture.
43
And remember, it's not stiff, it's not overly rigid, and you can still have great posture and be relaxed.
44
When we went through the confidence module, We talked about how important it was to be comfortable
45
and how important it was to be the most comfortable person in the room.
46
I'm gonna give you phase two of that challenge right now.
47
What I also want you to challenge yourself with is being the slowest moving person in the room.
48
And here's what I mean by that.
49
As a behavior profiler, I've been watching human behavior for well over 30,000 hours.
50
If there's one thing that I've learned is fear speeds up the human body.
51
Fear speeds up our gestures, our movements, and everything else that goes on inside of us.
52
So one thing I wanna challenge you to do this week
53
and for the next few months is set a speed limit on your body.
54
You don't have to be hard on yourself, but I want you to set a speed limit
55
and try to stick to it for an entire week or maybe two weeks.
56
It depends on how much you wanna challenge yourself.
57
But try to stick to this speed limit.
58
And here's the speed limit.
59
I want you to write this down.
60
For this week, I'm not going to move any faster than
61
if I was standing in a swimming pool or if I was underwater somewhere.
62
So I want being underwater to be the speed limit of your body for this week.
63
And that's gonna help you remember to slow down, be more comfortable, be more confident, and you're more in control.
64
And remember, you no longer see the world through hierarchy and status.
65
So when I say you're in control, what I mean is you're in control of you.
66
The most powerful lesson in leadership that I could ever pass down to you is
67
that you could pick a random episode of Andy Griffith.
68
It's called The Andy Griffith Show.
69
And if you're going through a problem in your life right now, you're struggling to build a relationship with someone, you're struggling in some kind of leadership capacity.
70
I don't care what episode it is.
71
I guarantee you can pick a random episode of Andy Griffith
72
and it will have some information in there it will teach you some sort of lesson
73
that applies directly to whatever issue you're going through in life I learned about this in the Middle East
74
when we would screw up our commander would make us go in
75
and pick a random episode of Andy Griffith
76
and it never failed every time you'd watch
77
that episode it would have something in that episode
78
that was a leadership lesson about how you had failed your troops
79
or how you had done something to put your people maybe in harm's way.
80
The reason I think the show is so powerful is because of Andy Griffith.
81
It's an older show but I think it's still available.
82
Andy Griffith is the sheriff in this show of this town called Mayberry
83
and his responses to everything just exude the most perfect example of authority
84
and everything we mean
85
when we talk about authority the confidence discipline the leadership the gratitude the enjoyment
86
so he has a composure about him he has a maturity about him
87
the most powerful thing that i could ever teach you is called the composure pendulum
88
so on the right side of this pendulum you'll see the letter P for posturing.
89
This is when we're over posturing, we're trying too hard.
90
It's rooted in insecurity.
91
In the middle of this pyramid we have the C
92
which stands for composure and moving to the left you'll see another C which stands for collapse.
93
Collapse is when we kind of give up on things, we make ourselves smaller maybe to make someone else more comfortable or we're trying to appease a person.
94
Collapse and and posturing are both rooted in insecurity.
95
And if you watch any episode of Andy Griffith, you'll see his assistant.
96
His name is Barney Fife.
97
This guy vacillates back and forth on the pendulum between posturing and collapse, back and forth on just about every episode.
98
And it's a perfect example that when somebody lives in a posturing environment, one of their tendencies is, how do I fix being so posturing?
99
Then they look across that little pendulum towards the other side and they say, oh, that collapse looks like the opposite of what I'm doing.
100
So they do the opposite of what they're doing and they vacillate into collapse.
101
And then if they're in collapse and they're feeling challenged by other people, they're feeling like a doormat all the time.
102
They're like, how do I fix this issue?
103
And they look across the other side of the pendulum and they see posturing over here.
104
Now posturing becomes the solution to their problem.
105
instead of seeing the center, the middle ground, of living in pure and real composure.
106
So when you watch Andy Griffith, he was always in composure.
107
He's a perfect example of staying in composure and not going into collapse and not falling into posture.
108
This is wholly my opinion,
109
but I think one of the most compelling descriptions of true authority and leadership was written by a guy named Marcus Aurelius.
110
He was writing about one of his generals named Maximus.
111
And I wanna read this to you because I think it's very important.
112
I don't wanna just wanna flash it on the screen or something.
113
I want you to hear this.
114
This comes from a book called The Emperor's Handbook, which was written in 121 AD.
115
Maximus set an example of self-mastery, steadiness of purpose, and good cheer,
116
that no circumstance, not even illness, could extinguish.
117
He combined in beautiful measure gravity with charm and did whatever needed to be done without making a fuss.
118
Everyone believed that what he said was what he thought, and he never acted with an intention to do harm or give offense.
119
Nothing surprised or frightened him, and he never seemed to be in a hurry or slow to accomplish a task.
120
He was neither intimidated or embarrassed on the one hand, nor aggressive or suspicious on the other.
121
So giving, forgiving, and loyal was he by nature, that he appeared to be a man whose virtues were inborn rather than acquired.
122
It is unimaginable that anyone ever felt superior or inferior around him,
123
perhaps due to his pleasing sense of humor.
124
So now you have the keys to authority and you know that if you need to influence another person, you need those five traits.
125
The movement, appearance, confidence, connection, and intent.
126
And that's going to be triggered in other people's heads.
127
And that's why you're going to focus on your posture, your composure, your level of comfort, and moving slowly.
128
Moving like you're standing in water.
129
In the next module, I'm going to show you the tactical formulas for influence,
130
and I'm also going to give you word-for-word examples of how to use some of these today.
131
So join me in there right now.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
