Influencer Tip: Mirror, Mimic or not.
- The Influencer understands that they always want to establish and maintain authority. They also want to engage and make the person feel comfortable. Ok, here is the “crease”. When we mimic or mirror someone, we are following their lead, thus giving up our authority.
- If you do mirror, only do it for a short time, then as the Influencer, use authoritative body language and set the proper pace of you speech. If you set it and maintain it, you will notice that your client will actually follow you and you will end up with authority while making your client feel comfortable.
