Or can you decide for yourself?   In my last post ‘Living the Dream’ (or How does a person react to change?) I wrote about how our language and behaviours are indicators of how often we may well change our behaviour, in a given context [1] . This all led on from a conversation I had with a friend.   The theory or fact is that our language and behaviours give away huge clues (to those who are aware of this fact), clues on how we will behave and what we will say in a particular situation.    However, we are all complex individuals and it isn’t just the language and behaviours indicators around the Decision Factors [2] , which shows are they motivated to change through searching for ‘difference’ or ‘sameness’.

A way to do it is a process or a procedure, if we don’t have those processes or procedures none of our systems will work. Things need to requisitioned in the right way to reduce overspend and keep profits up. Processes need to be implemented step by step. When you learn to drive a car you discover failure to do things in the right order means you crash the gears or some other disaster.   However what happens when we have a problem or our customer or client has a problem?   We or they are not interested in the process or procedure in the slightest we or they want something doing.   These are again two subconscious language patterns and apart from 20% of the population who can dance with one foot in e
