No one is really against you. They are just out for themselves. If you’re able to mirror someone. Label them effectively. And show curiosity, while building trust from a place of empathy… they will open up and tell you everything.

It was the anxious person who received all the same information and had the same level of authority but who stuck to policy and denied access while looking mortified to challenge us and being extremely apologetic. They still were more scared of their manager. 2/2

Alethe @alethe.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

This is the assumption most people make. When in fact confidence person was very sure of themselves and took our work order and then confidently confirmed it appeared legitimate and gave us access. 1/2

Very smart! Most people assume the short ball of anxiety would be a push over and the tall confident human would block us. And they would be wrong.

I recently tested two retail locations. 1. Had a confident and tall person who was clearly in charge and comfortable with their position. 2. Had a more anxious and short person who was in charge but not as confident. Both were key holders, not managers. Who let us in, who sent us packing?
