The School of Greatness

NOTE

The Power of Priming

Priming involves using specific words to signal certain perceptions or feelings in others. For instance, using the word 'exciting' prompts the other person to focus on positives, while 'busy' directs their attention to busyness. The language we use in communication, such as in emails, can influence the recipient's emotions and mindset. By being mindful of the words we choose, we can either induce stress or create a sense of excitement and efficiency in others. Priming also applies to initial interactions, with questions like 'How are you?' being perceived as insincere, while more engaging questions can set the stage for a successful interaction.
