When you can ’speak their language’, it allows you to connect with them at a deeper level. While there are many factors which influence the words people use, one of the most significant relates to which of their five senses (sight, hearing, feeling, taste & smell) they are most aware of at any given time.

We recently looked at ways to use the natural phenomenon of rapport to meet people at their model of the world through our behaviour. This week we will discuss the meta-pattern of pacing and leading to explore how you can meet people at their map of the world with language, before leading them somewhere else.
