Perspective is Everything - SNT Kit

 

Hi,

At Mindsways we combine how the Mind is Swayed and influenced with how the mind works, or the Minds Ways. This mixture is what is at the heart of the SNT kit. For more on this and information about the kit, please see mindsways.com/SNT/

The SNT (Show, Not Tell) kit builds upon 20 plus years of experience using the materials inside it, as well as personal experience, it pulls from psychology, Psychological Artistry, neuroscience, smart thinking, critical thinking and Mind Magic.

It is this rare blend that makes it so popular to use but still remains unique in its approach. The principles and lessons involved in Psychological Artistry are useful in understanding our belief systems, our perceptions and how we think and behave.

Over the past 2 years, I have noticed a significant and exciting new movement in the worlds of mentoring, training, teaching, consulting, coaching, management, therapy and many other areas. In all of these fields, the ability to work on a face-to-face basis has dramatically increased people's skill set, reputation and sales figures. It is this philosophy and principle that the SNT kit is based on, and it's this that makes you:

  • Stand Out
  • Grab and Hold Attention
  • Be More Interesting
  • Help Others
  • Engage More

We have sent the SNT kit across the world, to the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Europe, China and Africa, and we've had brilliant feedback from all of these places. For more on the kit, please see mindsways.com/SNT.

Perspective Is Everything

The real power of the SNT kit and Psychological Artistry lies not with just the materials contained within, but the effect that the delivery of them has on people. You get this by tapping into the emotions of mystery, combined with the personal touch and firing off people's passion and curiosity.
In the SNT kit, we give you the materials to do this, however, learning to use them with what you do is where the real power lies. Perspectives determine how we:

  • View and interpret our experiences
  • Make decisions
  • Filter our insights
  • Govern our assumptions
  • Act and behave

It is this unseen primary influence that magicians know and understand and use very well.

In the kit and its DVD, we work with the theme of "all is not as it appears". Please take a look here at these examples: the McGurk effect and Prof. Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect", a well-known Fred Astaire clip and Rory Sutherland's Perspective Is Everything talk. You can see them by going to mindsways.com/SNT/#PsychologicalArtistry.

By delivering this kind of material, you can evoke the making of the extraordinary. By combining the kit with the energy of your words, your message and your personality, you make yourself stand out, stimulate fascination and create interest in you. This is when the real magic happens, in the theater of the minds. For more information, please see mindsways.com/SNT/

Theater of the Mind

In the kit and the supporting DVD, we uncover the principles behind our perceptions, how we see the world and how those affect our thinking and belief systems. We look at making the materials into something that works for you, using these three levels:

  • Effects of Materials - triggers "how did that happen?"
  • Analysis of Materials - triggers "what does this mean for me?"
  • Practicality of Materials - explores how you can use the materials

This involves using a combination of Psychology, Neuroscience, Smart Thinking and the ideas, tools and techniques from Mind Magic. The principles and lessons are useful in understanding our belief systems, how we think and act. It is in our minds that we experience emotions, thoughts and actions. These are in turn determined by the silent questions we ask ourselves.

The SNT kit is used as a reflection of how the mind works. We use the 3 levels above as a lens to increase our understanding how our minds control our actions, emotions and thoughts. It is through this that our minds tell us stories that justify our actions. For more on this, please see mindsways.com/SNT/

What People Say

The feedback from people around the world have been extremely positive, with them saying things like:

  • "It really was most enjoyable and enlightening"
  • "A great eye opener!"
  • "Thank you, the SNT Kit has certainly proved to be an invaluable tool for my work"

The SNT kit provides an unorthodox approach to understanding human behaviour, illustrating and promoting our messages, and this is where the real power lies. As Marty Neumeier says in ZAG " Be Different   - NO Really Different". For more of what people say, please see mindsways.com/WPS/

What is Psychological Artistry?

There are many definitions of psychology, some people will say it's about interpreting thoughts, influencing people's behaviour or getting a better understanding of motivation. It is all of these and more, but the one that sums it up for me is "the science of how we think". 
Next is the artistry part, again, there have been many definitions but I like to think that artistry is a blend of:

  • Creating connection, rapport and emotions
  • Telling stories
  • Gaining and holding attention
  • Producing insights
  • Displaying human nature
  • Cognition
  • Show, Not Tell
  • Multiple Moments of Interest, Interaction and Insights (MMI's)

Therefore, Psychological Artistry is the blending of these two to create a method for successful communication. Psychological Artistry is where science and art meet Mind Magic.

The real power of Mind Magic and Psychological Artistry lies not with just the materials in the SNT kit, but the effect that the delivery of these have on people, tapping into the emotions of mystery combined with the personal touch and firing off the silent questions. In the SNT kit, we give you the materials, however, learning to use them with what you do is where the real power lies.
