Maximize Your Influence Episode 251 - Mind Control Explained
Mind Control and Expectations
We communicate our expectations in a variety of ways. It may be through our language, our word choice, voice inflections, or our body language. Think of a time when you've been introduced to someone. Usually, if they introduce themselves by their first name, then you do the same. If they give their first and last name, you do likewise. Whether you realize it or not, you accept cues from others regarding their expectations and you act accordingly. Similarly, we all unknowingly send out our own cues and expectations. The power is in using the Law of Expectations consciously!

Another case study demonstrated that adults who were given complex mazes solved them faster when told they were based on a grade-school level of difficulty.
