⭕️ NCI GRAD SCHOOL: https://nci.university/home-v2 There are 17 sentence structures that make another person's brain do the persuading for you. You don't argue. You don't push. You deliver the architecture and their own neurology finishes the job. These aren't scripts or phrases. They're machines. Each one was discovered independently — by Socrates, by trial lawyers, by hostage negotiators, by cult leaders — across 2,400 years, by people who never met and never read each other's work. They all found the same invisible thing. In this lecture I break all 17 into the four families nobody has ever mapped before: — Sentences that make the listener argue your position for you — Sentences that collapse resistance without pushing through it — Sentences that install an identity the person's own brain will defend long after you leave — Sentences that make a decision feel like it already happened Not one of them tells anyone what to think. Not one argues a position. Not one persuades. They create a condition where the other person does it themselves — and believes it was their idea.

My boss uses some of these on his employees to push (and twist) the reality and make it look like we can't be right. He is extremely dismissive. I have realized that in some cases, I will refuse to answer the question, as the best way to interrupt the process of gaslighting. ("I cannot answer that question.") My overall response to him is "we need to serve the client and provide value." This helps me move the conversation from one of blame to one that is productive.

How Chase embeds the very strategies he teaches, inside these video-trainings—so they work on the listener-brilliant. Who else catches it?

I am just flabbergasted by his mind! I can't believe the eloquence and the flow of his thought, and how easily he generates relevant examples. His NCI 4 program is on my bucket list❤

Chris Vos is a FBI hostage negotiator and he actually put out this almost identical material a bit more concise and simplified and he is on a bunch of podcasts between these two guys. Honestly you could be the best sales person ever.

THIS is the kind of stuff I love watching and listening to from Chase Hughes... I know his thoughts and information on the government psyops and whatnot are interesting on multiple levels but admittedly, I can only consume so much of that and then I'm done. It's the neuroscience paired with human behavior and his content on how to basically become a better person as a whole - THAT is the content I love and consume most from him. And THAT is the content I'd love to see him do more of... I grew up in a very dysfunctional home and family so I missed A LOT of life's lessons, including social skills. (Complex Childhood Trauma levels...) He is by far, the best one I've seen on "when they say this, you say that..." as well as just overall, how to become a better person in how you handle not only yourself but other people as well. Trust me, I've watched a lot of those types of videos because I just want to get better at it but his content is what has made the biggest difference for me. His content on those topics is where it's at for me.
