Standout Quotes:

• “The reason that hypnosis may not seem mainstream is because of hypnotists.” [Tim]
• “The biggest challenge is we’re trying to insulate ourselves from liability. But we’re teaching these people techniques that are designed for behavioral change and resolution of trauma.” [David]
• “When people come in you, they’re hungry, and they want to come away feeling like they’re fed.” [David]
• “Just learning the basics, you can have a huge impact.” [Tim]
• “You can take to the bank in every conceivable form of communication there are human beings never resist themselves.” [David]
• “Positive or negative is in response to a feeling. It’s either a feeling they want more of or feeling they want a whole lot less of.” [David]
• “You will never install certainty and other people by being uncertain yourself.” [David]

Key Takeaways:

• The AB reaction drill first, the progress through the curriculum was three times faster.
• The best perfect training for CEOs and entrepreneurs would be CPI systems, which are conversational persuasion and influence.
• Avoiding the adrenaline rush from whatever’s triggering is not something that you can inoculate against. But what you can do is reframe it right from the get-go.
• Everything a human being does is based on emotional drives within us. Primal drives, then emotional drives, every experience we have, and every thought that we think has a structure.
• The echo technique is the most satisfying and fulfilling method to communicate with human beings. It gives them the exact feelings they want to have that lets them know you’ve heard and gives them everything they’re looking for in communication with you.
