As I was sitting in the back of my mini-van, yes mini-van today driving 6 hours to Las Vegas, I had time to read some... and I had time to think about my little experiment this morning. Let's face the world economy is in turmoil and my current business (the mortgage business) is just insane. It is clear that just a quick trip around my office you can determine everyone's STATE just by understanding and reading their body language. I also thought about how to change thier STATE, by forcing a change in thier body language. It was fun.
So this morning, I was in one of those fucused states as I wanted to leave by 11am. See my previous post. I had several things to do before I left, yet the mood was so strange I had to step up and play the game.
There are 2 loan officers in the office that are always sitting back in thier chairs in almost a kick back relaxed STATE. Doomsayers is a good term.... Their body language says they are king of the hill, but in reality it is saying they are kicking back and waiting for the phone to ring. Aggressive or assertive is not a term I would use for them. So I decided to see if a STATE CHANGE could move them to some action. This week in an effort to stimulate some action in those that do not act... the manager of the office gave a manaditory task of calling 25 Realtors by the 24th... ( call that many in 3 days...) ... there is a point here. So I ran into both of thier offices, high fiving them and telling them I called all 25 and was in such a state that I challenged them to do the same. It was fasinating, as the minute I walked in and did my thing... you could see thier body language change immedataly. It was as if I lit a fire under them. By the time I left I could hear them both making calls...
To be honest, what they do and how they do thier job does not affect me at all, unless they bring thier doomsayer menatlity into my world. It is up to me to allow that and I don't. But this little experiment was more about this new venture and how Body Language can change your state and make your life more productive and happier.
