Transcript
When someone does a slow triple nod, the other person speaks 67% longer. No when I watch you... I like to watch you mostly more than listen even. So when you nod, you're telling me a couple of things. You're saying, one, I'm with you. I'm following. You'll even nod on my word pace. I don't know if you noticed that. You do. Yeah. So if I was a slower talker, you would nod more slowly, which is beautiful. That's a very, very rare skill. Do you do it, naturally? You don't realize? No. I don't realize it. Okay. So when you have a slow talker, I've noticed you nod more slowly with them. It's as if to say, I'm on your pace. I'm with you. I'm keeping you. Right? And then when you want to say something, you'll often speed up the nods because you're like, I have something to say. I have something to say. Hey. Your turn. Your turn. Your turn. That's so good.
