Left-brained? Think of Joe Friday on Dragnet. The facts,
mam, just the facts.
Left-brained people are linear and sequential, focus on the
literal meanings of words, like logic and reason, and often
score low on reading nonverbal communication such as gestures
and expressions.
The Power Of Possibilities

Dominance Test.
1.Give A reason (one will do), and answer the direct question.
SAY: No I havent completed the Pleading. I had to file the
Motion to Compel first. It had priority. DO NOT SAY: I was too
busy, I had too much to do, or I had to do something else.
(anticipate - Did you or did you not, and if not, why not?)
2.Quantify and avoid vague references to time and money. Do not
use words like something, stuff, a long time. Avoid
superfluous adjectives.
SAY: It will take 4 days to get your shirt back from the dry
cleaners. If I take it in today, you wont get it back in time
for your trip on Friday. DONT SAY: Dont ask me to do stuff
Whine And Dine'!

like that. It would take waaaaay too long. To many of us, entertaining is associated with formal dinner tables adorned with carefully laid out place settings and stuffy seating charts. One may also think of .....
SAY: This machine will cost you no more than $100 and no less
than $50. DO NOT SAY: Itll cost a lot, or We cant afford
that.
3.Be serious. Avoid humor, sarcasm, double intendre or anything
ambivalent or ambiguous.
SAY: I will have that for you by 5:00 this afternoon. DO NOT
SAY: Youre joking arent you? Tell me youre joking. (They
arent.)
SAY: I cant do that by 1:00 and heres why You will have to
ask someone else to do it. DO NOT SAY: In your dreams, or Me
and what 5 other people? or Sure (sarcastically), or anything
you counteract with gestures and expressions (rolling your
eyes), as it will be missed.
4.Do not use metaphor.
SAY: He talks that way because thats how they teach you to
talk in the military. DO NOT SAY: You cant change a leopards
spots.
SAY: I will do my best to convince him to come at that time.
DO NOT SAY: Id have to turn cartwheels.
5.Do not be vague or refer to intuition. Refer to logic and
authority when possible.
SAY: He didnt go to school because he had a strep throat and
the doctor told me to keep him home for 3 days. DO NOT SAY: I
kept him home from school because I could tell he felt bad.
6.Talk about the trees, not the forest.
SAY: Because this is the first First Anniversary Banquet,
there is no data I can analyze that can accurately predict the
monetary success of this event. DO NOT SAY: I dont know. How
could I know? Weve never done this before.
7.Stick to the topic.

SAY: Yes, I got hold of Mr. Sanchez. He will meet with you on
Friday. DO NOT SAY: Yes, I got hold of Mr. Sanchez. Did you
know hes getting married next week? Shes a lawyer from
Argentina. The wedding will be in Austin and yes, hell be
here on Friday.
8.Supply context, and alert when changing subjects.
SAY: Regarding the meeting with Bob and Jim last week and
Heres the report. Now, in another matter [and pause for them
to switch gears] DO NOT SAY: Here are the financial figures,
and by the way, Mary didnt like it when Bob and Jim
9.Build your case with logic and reason, not emotion.
SAY: I think (reason) I deserve a raise because I raised my
quota 10% and brought in 5 new clients with increased revenue of
$150,000. DONT SAY: I feel (emotion) I deserve a raise (or I
want a raise). Its demeaning to be the lowest paid in the
department. Wed all feel better if
10. Be brief, factual and to-the-point, talk slowly, enunciate,
avoid pronouns and make references clear. (Oh, and skip the hand
gestures.)
SAY: Buy the Mazda. Its the best deal. It costs 20% less and
Edward [trusted mechanic] said it's in better condition. DO NOT
SAY: My gut says get the Mazda. He liked it too. Plus its got a
lot of stuff the other one doesnt. Just hurry up and decide.
This is driving me nuts. (hands waving, voice getting
emotional)
