Building Your Persuasion Muscle
Kenrick Cleveland
If you don't know it by now, I'm a changed man. My life and health have become drastically improved in the last few years by way of shedding 140+ pounds of fat, adopting a healthy relationship to food and learning to love the gym and exercise.
When my weight was at its height, I was over 425 pounds. I was diabetic and near death. And I was certainly no where near being able to stay on the treadmill or stationary bike for an hour at a time. Now I spend an hour a day, every day, at the gym. The results are improving my life on all fronts.
This might seem like I'm giving myself a big pat on the back. Well, sort of, I suppose. I'm proud of myself, for sure, but my interest in talking about this has more to do with wanting to discuss patience, perserverance and self persuasion. These are all muscles which can be built up (just like a bicep).
Learning persuasion is very similar to workout out body's muscles. One three hour workout once every other week is much less beneficial than short, frequent periods of study/exercise.
Even putting the research aside, how easy is it to section off ten or fifteen minutes a couple of times a day as opposed to carving out a huge chunk of time to "cram" the information in?
Patience. . .it's not easy for many of us to allow things to unravel, to happen over time. We are action oriented people. We want to do, to make, to move, to shake. We get things done and move on to do more. My advice is, become more comfortable with patience. There are some things that can happen immediately. Persuasion is not one of them. It's multi-layered and highly variable. There is absolutely no way you (or I) can learn it all at once.
Despite persuasion being a somewhat dense subject, I'm constantly working to streamline the process of learning it (having made some significant advances). Learning it is ongoing. Research in the plasticity of the brain and the mind/body connection are showing us to be on the frontier of a very exciting body of knowledge.
That's a lot to digest. (Back to the food metaphors!)
With our intentions set, with our paths set out before us, we strive to add layer upon layer of persuasion muscle to our lives--personal, business, and public. Repetition after repetition we will build our persuasion arsenals into tight, toned, compact, (or bulky, depending on your taste), versatile, strong, and powerful tools. It thrills me to be your persuasion personal trainer.
