 | | Hi,
The SNT (Show, Not Tell) Kit is a set of tools all about learning, understanding and applying Psychological Artistry to what you do. The kit is a very practical way to create a buzz around your message and interact with people in whole new ways by using illusions, psychology, magic tricks and the power of personal touch.
The kit is extremely practical and over the past 6 months alone, I have used it on an almost daily basis. This has ranged from one-to-one coaching sessions, workshops, business training and with large audiences between two and three hundred. Because the material within the kit is based on our human behavior, how we think, behave and act, it has the scope to be used in a variety of situations and with a variety of people.

For more on the kit and its various uses, please see www.mindsways.com/SNT/ THE SHAPE OF S.U.C.C.E.S.
An enlightening model that I've used and has been used in delivering workshops, in marketing and advertising and with communications experts is called The Shape of S.U.C.C.E.S. All effective messages are shaped by being: - Straightforward
- Unexpected & Surprise
- Credible
- Concrete
- Emotional
- Stories
At the heart of the SNT kit lies the potent combination of the unexpected and surprising. The kit, in line with the current trend of placing a high value on Personal Touch, allows you to engage with people through using face-to-face and physical means, providing a very real and concrete experience for them. Doing this lets you tell stories, leverage emotions, establish yourself as credible and put your message across in a straightforward, interesting and entertaining manner.

YOU IN YOUR FUTURE
The future of presenting, training, teaching, communicating, creative thinking and business will be based on the shattering of traditions and be built upon the shards of what remains. To do this, novelty, innovation, imagination and the ability to embrace what is truly different is what's needed. Novelty is the key and for many people who have previously used the SNT kit, they have certainly found a source of it. This leads us to ask three significant questions; - What's your source of surprise?
- How do you 'rock the boat'?
- Where do you get unexpected influences from?
The coming together of these three answers will dictate how well prepared you are for the future. The materials in the kit certainly act to generate a blend of what's new, what's a positive force of disruption and what can be a fountain of extraordinary influences.

USING YOUR ILLUSIONS
Over the past 2 years, I have been running courses around the U.K. and found that a number of people from a wide range of background, including teachers, therapists, coaches, business leaders, scientists, trainers etc. have found Psychological Artistry and the SNT kit to help: - Engage with audiences
- A source of fresh ideas for business and delivery
- Add to presentations
- Understanding psychological illusions
- Add mystery and the unexpected to dry presentations
- Create emotional connections
- Add visual impact and vitality
- Use personal touch
- Create extraordinary moments
- Show the power of perspective
- Unleashing creative forces
- Reframing ideas
- Fuels imagination
In his astonishing TED talk, Beau Lotto demonstrates the power of visual illusions to the world. By combining the fascinating effect that illusions have on an audience with meaningful demonstrations of how these can be used to change the world and create beautiful pieces of art, Lotto also explores why we can't believe what we see, but we see what we believe. To see this video, please go to www.mindsways.com/SNT/ To sum up his message and why illusions hold such meaning for us, he says: "The brain didn't evolve to see the world as it is. We can't. Instead, the brain has evolved to see the world the way it was useful to see it in the past." By this he means that we do not experience what is really going on outside of our heads, but we experience what we have learned expect.

THE POWER OF PSYCHOLOGICAL ARTISTRY
The approach we take is what we call Psychological Artistry and involves using a blend of psychology, mind magic (or mentalism), personal development and smart thinking ideas. By tapping into people's imagination, curiosity and desire for mystery we can engage people in all different areas. By adding in psychological approaches, this is strengthened. I appreciate that by its very nature, it is not a traditional approach but that is where its power lies.
Psychological Artistry is about combining the world of art and psychology. It's about showing the beautiful flaws in our thinking and how we can use them. It's about magnifying how we all think and giving you the opportunity to change it. A couple of interesting examples the McGurk effect and Prof Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect". These illustrate both the power and the approach of psychological artistry. I would love to know what you think.
Please see www.mindsways.com/SNT/ for these and other incredible videos. For more about Psyhcological Artistry and our approach, please see www.mindsways.com/about/
WHAT IS PSYCHOLOGICAL ARTISTRY?
To start with there are many definitions of psychology, 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. Get to know more about this by going to www.mindsways.com/about/
OUR APPROACH
The SNT kit is good for anyone looking for something different and to stimulate new styles of thinking. The feedback from using the kit has been that it has definitely satisfied the thirst for new ideas whilst ticking all of the edutrainment boxes.
We know that this is a non-traditional approach, yet that is where its power lies. For many of those who have used their SNT kits, this is an experiment. However, it soon turns into a valuable tool for communicating, engaging and delivering. To see what people have said about us, the kit and other topics, see www.mindsways.com /what-people-say/.
