“Breaking the mirror” is a term used to describe how lawyers intentionally disrupt the psychological connection, or rapport, with a witness on the stand. That disconnect is also called antipathy. During questioning, attorneys may initially mirror the witness’s tone, energy, rate, and body language to connect and build trust but then strategically break that alignment to create discomfort. This shift is particularly effective in creating pressure and undermining a witness’s confidence.

Want to know when, where, and how to use antipathy or unrapport? I know that is not a word, but it fits the topic.

Obligation has been used as a persuasive technique since the beginning of time. We see companies offering free downloads, free estimates, or gifts in the hope of opening the door to persuasion. The Law of Obligation, also known as pre-giving or reciprocity, states that when others do something for us, we feel a strong need, or urge, to return the favor.
Returning the favor rids us of the obligation created by the first good deed. The adage "one good turn deserves another" is a part of social conditioning in every culture. And, even beyond that, the maxim serves as an ethical code that does not necessarily need to be taught, but is understood.

I was reading this great article in Harvard Business Review, which focuses on how we CAN’T recognize our weaknesses. The other challenge is that most people feel responsible for their successes (internal), and external factors are the cause of their failures.
Leaders and managers today must be more aware of others’ needs due to the challenges of a global pandemic, a fragile economy, and social unrest. Many workplace challenges stem not from bad intentions but from leaders' lack of awareness of how their actions affect others. Self-awareness in leadership/management is crucial.

The Law of Dissonance proves that people will naturally act in a manner that is consistent with their cognitions. What is a cognition? Our cognition is a mental process that uses thoughts, beliefs, experiences, and past perceptions.
That means when people behave in a manner that is inconsistent with these cognitions (beliefs, thoughts or values), they find themselves in a state of discomfort. In this uncomfortable state, they will be motivated to adjust their behaviors or beliefs to regain mental and emotional balance. When our beliefs, attitudes, and actions mesh, we feel congruent.
This allows us to live with our thoughts, manage our day-to-day activities, and allows us to sleep at night. Have you ever proved someone they were wrong? Have you ever backed them into a corner? What happened? You made the perfect case, but you never heard from them again.
How do you use dissonance with your daily persuasion? How do you get others to persuade themselves? Join me for this week’s podcast on Double Dog Dissonance - Persuade Under the Radar. Discover ways to help people convince themselves.
