Matching

From The Graham English Wiki

You pace and build rapport through "matching". Matching can be done at every neurological level:

  • The Environment:
    • Physical space, dress, interests, friends, etc.
  • Behavior:
    • Body language: breathing pattern, posture, gestures, eye contact
    • Voice tone: speed, volume, rhythm, characteristic sounds
    • Language: key words and phrases that designate values, words that show how a person is thinking (predicates)
  • Capabilities:
    • Shared skills and interests
  • Beliefs and Values
  • Identity
  • Beyond Identity or Shared Culture
