Drinking from a Fire Hose

By: Kenrick Cleveland..

Every year around this time, I start a new cycle of classes and as usual, I've got some eager, excited, anticipating students, many of whom will (I can already tell) work themselves into a bit of a frenzy wanting to soak up as much persuasion as possible in a short period of time. As one client put it, "I kind of feel like I'm drinking water out of a fire hose."

To those students, I say, Stop! Take a deep breath. . . and let it go.

Persuasion is a process, just as living is a process.

This is an intense program with a tremendous amount of content. It's perfectly natural to feel overwhelmed to some extent. However, keep in mind a few things that I think will help you.

The first thing I would suggest for those of you just starting out, those of you just opening your eyes and ears to the vastness of the topic we are and will be exploring, I would very much suggest you listen. Listen to the calls, listen to the light and sound sessions. Even if you don't think you're getting it at first, be assured, you're getting it.

As we are learning about human nature, information is ongoing and constantly evolving. Do not fret if you don't absorb something as fully as you'd like the first time around. Play it back. Get it at the level where you get it. Don't cram or force or work yourself up into a frenzy.

I say over and over that we are studying human nature, to keep this foremost in my student's minds. Human nature can be unpredictable. And it is ever expanding. As we learn, we understand this is an evolving subject in which we can improve only to the extent we understand ourselves.

This learning keeps us on the leading edge all the time compared to those that have typical sales training as a background. People are individuals with different criteria, with different ways of interacting, and as such, the keys to unlocking their particular patterns are all going to be different as well.

Some of my students have been working with me for four or five years. Some have just started within the last month. There will be even more new people in the months to come.

One expectation I'm finding many new students have is that there should be a level of mastery. But I'll tell you what, I haven't mastered this, none of my students have mastered this, and that's because human nature is constantly evolving and with it we evolve and learn and reach and strive for more excellence, and that's all that we need ask of ourselves.

It doesn't hurt to do the homework. I'm not suggesting in any way that you don't need to do your homework, I'm just saying that learning is going to happen whether or not you pressure yourself. Wouldn't it be more enjoyable not to pressure yourself? This is what I explained to my new student who was worried that he wasn't getting IT enough to satisfy his high degree of thirst. "If you step back and have perspective on this, imagine yourself able to catch the spray from the fire hose instead of having it aimed straight at your face."
