There are times in life we want to be in control, we want people to
do our bidding without any argument or any sign of resistance. We
probably have met people who are very great with considerable influence.
Those who have everyone at their command, and we wonder how they do it.
The question one may ask is that do these people possess a supernatural
power that enables others to do their will? Are they human beings like
us? Can one possess such power? You will learn a little of how to do
this in this article. You'll see some spheres of power and how one can
use the power of persuasion to make you get people do anything you want
them to do.
Power can mean different things to different people.
To a politician looking for a vote, it means getting the large
percentage of the populace cast their vote for them. To the head of an
organization it may mean a different thing. To a salesman it is the
ability to convince people to buy their product even if they think they
don't need it. The list is neverending. But whatever area or field of
life you are in, power can simply be said to be the ability to get
people do things willingly without resistance.
Persuasion is one
aspect of power that gets people do what you want them to do. This is a
skill that can be learned by almost anyone and does not take much time.
Many people loose lots of things because they lack this basic skill you
get anything you want if you have the skill to persuade other people.
There
are several reasons why you may want people to do your bidding. You may
be a salesman trying to gain a prospect, an employer trying to control
your staff, a husband, a father or a politician trying to win a
election. Whatever it is there are several times we wish people to do
what we want them to do.
One great way to get people do your
bidding without them resisting is through a Model developed in the '70s
by a psychiatrist called Milton H. Erickson. He developed a model of
indirect hypnosis to help communicate with the mind of people. The
method is called the covert or conversational hypnosis. This is a type
of hypnosis that occurs in a regular discussion in which the subject or
anyone that is passing will not detect that the subject is in any form
of hypnotic trance. You can use this technique to get people to do
whatever you want them to do.
