Now this is a hypnosis session all about interview preparation because I was working with a client that had a very very high level job that they were applying for and it was the kind of job where there were lots of other candidates and they had to do lots and lots of preparation and they had tests and exams that they needed to do just as part of the recruitment process but

They really wanted this particular role for what it represents, but even the challenge of getting the role would be beneficial for them.

Now, one of the things that they had to do to prepare is memorize lots of very technical data.

So you're going to hear references in this hypnosis session about mind mapping.

Mind mapping is a concept created by Tony Buzan.

which evolves the idea of the spider diagram.

There's a central image right in the middle and then things go out and it uses association rather than linear scripting.

And it's very, very good for creativity and recall.

This client wanted it for recall.

Now, it has that element, but also it links to the qualities that they wanted to demonstrate in the recruitment process, like leadership, innovation, charisma, the ability to...

be synergistic and be optimistic they wanted all of these qualities to be demonstrated so there's an element of priming in this and also future pacing that things are going to go well but even if they don't get the role this is still a worthwhile endeavor and that's important because it lowers the stakes

If it's a win-win regardless, it's going to take the pressure off and taking the pressure off actually increases the probability that the whole process goes well.

When – and I've worked with people that had the mindset that if I don't get this –

this is the the last opportunity i'm ever going to have my life is ruined if i don't get that suddenly there's lots of anxiety and lots of stress and lots of pressure because they framed it as do or die whereas actually if it's framed as okay it's going to be good whatever happens actually that is a huge advantage because that individual is going to come across as calm and composed

rather than anxious and scarce, almost a feeling of desperation.

That's not a good energy to have in this kind of recruitment process.

So if you can relate to preparing for an interview, and it might not even be an interview, it might be a date, it might be a business meeting, it might be an introduction to someone important and not a recruitment style interview, you'll still get some value from

from this hypnosis session and if you like the idea of something more bespoke or customized there will be links in the description or you can check out my website adamcox.co.uk to find out how to work with me for now though find a quiet comfortable place where you won't be distracted or disturbed relax and enjoy the session

Take a deep breath in.

And as you breathe in, breathe in that resourceful feeling of calm and relaxation.
