The Behaviour Expert: Instantly Read Any Room & How To Hack Your Discipline! Chase Hughes

(instrumental music plays) So New Year's resolutions are around the corner, and I think 9% of resolutions stick. So what advice have you got for me?

Okay. So, let's say I wanted to lose weight. The first thing is realizing that all of our lives are about habits, not goals. And the second aspect of this is one of the most effective strategies to brainwash yourself to form these new habits, and that is-

Chase Hughes is a former military veteran turned world renowned expert in behavioral analysis and human influence.

He has trained Secret Service agents, Navy SEAL leaders, CEOs, and government officials to master communication, behavioral detection, and persuasion.

You can look at three factors every single time to determine why someone was successful or why they failed. The first is self-mastery, where we look at confidence, body language, discipline, and authority. And we know that people are hyper-responsive to authority.

But how do we establish authority ourselves?

Authority is made up of five things, and that's... Number two is their level of observation, and there's five Cs that we talk about in behavior profiling, which we get into. But my favorite example, and one of the fastest ways to get a read on another human being, is how often they're blinking. If I start seeing an increase in someone's blink rate, I know I need to change the subject right away.

Interesting.

And the third, their level of communication. And if you want to learn how to start a conversation or continue one, this is for you. It comes down to understanding the type of person that you are in front of. And I segregate people into six groups, and that'll influence the best way to talk to those people, which we can get into if you want.

Please.

Okay. Number one.

What about how to win an argument? What are the things I should definitely not do?

So the big mistake most people make is... Don't do that.

(instrumental music plays) Chase Hughes, who are you and what is your mission?

I'm a behavior guy, behavior expert, and I think I've just set out to teach people that there is an entire world that other people can't really see, don't have access to. And I think for the last 10,000 years of recorded history, you can look at any event or any leader of any country, and everything that dictates the outcomes of situations comes down to human factors every time. No matter if there's economic turmoil, there's people getting pissed off about an economy, there's AI or technology innovations that are happening, it- everything comes down to human interactions and whether or not you can manage yourself, you're a good leader, who the good leaders are, and who can persuade the people to feel a certain way.
