Blitz Chess

posted in Persuasive Words |

I have always been fascinated by how experts make decisions.

Take chess.

After a quick glance at a chess board, chess masters (who have 50,000 patterns stored in their memory) can play fast “blitz chess” with minimal loss of performance.

Experts, it seems, can rely on intuition because years of experience has given them the abilities to read the “patterns” of whatever game they are playing.

As a result, when we teach negotiators, marketers or salespeople in our seminars we are always teaching to read the patterns. We’ve found showing learners how to “read the patterns” significantly accelerates their learning and mastery.
