I call it non-judgmental concentration.

I think I made up that phrase, maybe I didn't, I forgot and I should attribute to someone else, but that's a phrase I use, non-judgmental concentration.

really taking all your consciousness and giving it to someone and not judging them, but going with them, trying to get into their way of thinking, their way of feeling even.

So not just what are they thinking, but how are they feeling?

So what's the emotion that's underlying that?

And I use that.

I use that quite a bit.

In the book, I have a chapter on

how to have an electric meeting, how to run an electric meeting, which means a meeting that's powerful, a meeting that everyone goes away exhilarated, everyone goes away with lots of things to do that can create a lot of value for the shareholders, not just one of these ho-hum meetings.

And an element of that meeting is

Everyone in the meeting shuts off all their devices and concentrates, concentrates non-judgmentally, non-judgmental concentration on the one person who's speaking at a time.

No side conversations, no talking over each other.

One person speaks at a time, but everyone in the room gives them all their attention.

It's a really powerful thing.

It was one of the places, you know, for my main hobby since I was a teenager has been meditation and various forms of meditation.

And then from meditation into I learned self-hypnosis.

And then from there, I learned all the mindfulness and the positive psychology and cognitive therapy and so forth.

So I've mixed and matched a lot of different schools of thought and customized it for me, my own personality, my background.

my individuality.

So it's not just one thing.
