Join Brett Gilliland with Jonathan Pritchard as they talk about the psychology of reading minds.Jonathan is a mentalist, author, speaker, and trainer focusing on Applied Psychology. In thisepisode, he goes into the details of performing on stage and using his skills as a mentalist to dobusiness.Slowly but SurelyJonathan did not want to become successful quickly because of the fear that he would notknow how to manage it. It would be a crash and burn situation. So instead, he was the typewho would learn the process first before going on his own. Jonathan compares this to learninghow to ride a bicycle the first time – he does not try to go downhill the next day. To learn howto become a mentalist, Jonathan worked as a tour manager for a full-time performer. Throughthe experience, he had a mentor to teach him and see firsthand how it is carried out. From that,Jonathan followed the “recipe,” as he calls it, and started performing in the college market. Hisslow and steady pace eventually reaped results and brought him around the world. Jonathan’soutlook on taking time to learn things before doing them is what he believes to be the recipefor his success.Trust and IntegrityIntegrity is often a fuzzy, cloudy, nebulous idea for most people, but Jonathan says otherwise.In fact, it is actually simple and straightforward. Jonathan explains that for someone to haveintegrity, their thoughts, words, and actions must be aligned. These three pieces must have acommon end goal because people are good at detecting the lack of integrity. For example,when one says, “I love you,” but thinks of, “I hate you,” there is no integrity. Once a person hasperfectly aligned their thoughts, words, and actions, that is the time that people can trust them.Jonathan says that when a person trusts another, they are more likely to give truthful inputs,which produces a better outcome in any situation.About Jonathan Pritchard:Jonathan Pritchard is an entertainer, entrepreneur, speaker, consultant, author, life coach,health nut, and life-long learner.
