Give Up Your Need for Approval, Start Getting What You Want, and Make Your MANformation

By Skip La Cour
Success and Leadership Coach
Creator of the MANformation Personal Development Program for Men

Get out of “the middle” and earn RESPECT from other people.

Most people seek love, approval, and validation from other people to some extent. That's just being a human being. However, some people NEED approval more than others do.

How about you?

Understanding this common element in human nature and how it affects your relationships with other people can either work for you—or against you. It all depends on how you use this powerful information.

important organizing principle to becoming a powerful, influential, and charismatic Alpha male is to either stop needing approval from other people—or do an awesome job of giving them the impression that you don't need it.

The Alpha male needs approval less than the other people in his group—or reveals that he needs it far less than the other people in his group.

There is a saying that goes “Nice guys don't finish last. Pleasers do.”

You simply can't aggressively go for what you really want in life with 100 percent focus, effort, and enthusiasm—while being a "nice guy" who desperately tries to please other people at the same time. It just doesn't work.

Why?

You will end up pleasing no one. You will end up "in the middle.” I suggest that you start viewing being in the middle as horrible and extremely ineffective place to be.

You will never make yourself happy and you will never make the people you are trying so hard to please happy either.

To make matters ever worse, you will never be RESPECTED when you flounder in the middle. And, that's a heck of a lot of effort to exert when all it earns is a lack of respect from other people.

Take a stand. Pick one side or the other with certainty and confidence. Other people will appreciate your decisiveness. You'll discover that other people will adjust to your way of thinking without much of a challenge when you do.

Have the courage to just SAY it.

Have the courage to just DO it.

Have the courage to just BE it.

Start conditioning other people to live in your "reality."

Trust yourself. Trust that other people are fair and rational.

"The Mindset and Actions of a Powerful Alpha Male Leader" Audio Seminar Course Outline

Why "Nice Guys" Finish Last Session One (1 hour; 57 minutes)

The reason why you are not getting what you want in life-at the level you really want-may be in how you are defining the word "nice" in critical situations in your life.

The Body Language of a Powerful Alpha Leader Session Two (2 hours; 1 minute)

You can spot a powerful and charismatic Alpha Leader the moment he walks into a room, can't you? Why do you think it is so obvious to everyone that he is "the man" without knowing a thing about him?

Learn forty-three (43) of the most-intriguing, SPECIFIC things an Alpha Leader does with his body language, facial expressions, eye movements, and voice qualities in certain situations that transmits his strength, certainty, and confidence. Also, learn what he will NEVER do in other situations because doing so will take away from his powerful presence. Adopt this body language at the appropriate time and become more influential, persuasive, and charismatic to those people around you.

Powerful Voice Qualities and Language Patterns: How an Alpha Male SPEAKS

By Skip La Cour
Success and Leadership Coach
Creator of the MANformation Personal Development Program for Men

What is the REAL message you are communicating to others when you speak?

The way you communicate with other people has a tremendous impact on the level of success you are able to experience in your life. You are ALWAYS communicating your thoughts, perceptions, and ideas to other people—whether you realize it or not!

The Alpha male is extremely aware of the fact that the vast majority of the way he communicates to the world (Studies have shown up to 93%) is done through his body language, facial expressions, eye movements, and voice qualities--and NOT the words he uses.

Here are some key distinctions that a poised, confident, and powerful Alpha male does--and does not do--when he is SPEAKS:

• He understands that it's not only WHAT he says that's important—it's HOW he says it that's important

• His “default” speaking voice is low, controlled, authoritative, and powerful

• He speaks at the appropriate volume at all times

• He speaks up all the time—unless he consciously chooses to speak softly for effect

• He speaks clearly

• He enunciates his words perfectly

• He even OVER-enunciate his words because he realizes that, although it may sound slow and awkward to him at times, it sounds clear, confident, normal, and extremely effective to the people he is speaking to

• His diction is precise, sharp, and crisp

• He makes sure he is in a peak and appropriate emotional state before he speaks—and then delivers his message

• His body language is strong, powerful, and charismatic because he understands that it bolsters the message he delivers

• He chooses to speak at his own TIMETABLE—and no one else's

• He takes the time to think about what he says before he says it—and the process gets faster over time through constantly practice

• He demonstrates the voice qualities that he consciously chooses—and never what anyone expects of him (just because he knows that's what they expect)

• He understands that being emotionally neutral until the very last moment before expressing the appropriate emotion is extremely POWERFUL

• He understands how effective and powerful “Pregnant Pauses” in his speaking patterns can be—and he uses them often

• He uses interesting, clever, and appropriate stories, metaphors, and analogies when he speaks

• He takes advantage of the opportunity to inject humor into conversation every time it is appropriate

Powerful Body Language: How an Alpha Male SITS

By Skip La Cour

Success and Leadership Coach
Creator of the MANformation Personal Development Program for Men

What are you telling people about you when merely sitting in their presence?

The way you communicate with other people has a tremendous impact on the level of success you are able to experience in your life. You are ALWAYS communicating your thoughts, perceptions, and ideas to other people—whether you realize it or not!

The Alpha male is extremely aware of the fact that the vast majority of the way he communicates to the world (Studies have shown up to 93%) is done through his body language, facial expressions, eye movements, and voice qualities--and NOT the words he uses.

Here are some key distinctions that a poised, confident, and powerful Alpha male does--and does not do--when he is SITTING:

• He takes up as much space as humanly possible

• His torso is straight up (his butt isn't tucked in or pushed out)

• His shoulders are upright, back, and relaxed

• His neck is strong and powerful—yet loose—and is stretched as high as possible

• His head is always held high (like there is a string in the middle of his head pulling it to the ceiling)

• His chin up

• His head will always follow his EYES. His eyes will be are level or higher (never looking down)

• His head looks straight ahead—and never swivels around

• His eyes forward—never darting around

• He does NOT sway back and forth

• He does NOT lean to one side or the other

• His feet shoulder width apart or slightly wider

• If he does cross his legs, they are relaxed and send a message. This is a deliberate power play that shows minimal interest. He expects the person (or people) he is with to earn his approval, acceptance, or validation

• He does NOT cross his arms (unless he is intentionally sending a message)

• He does NOT put his hands in his pockets

• He does NOT hold anything in front of him (which gives the impression he is “protecting” himself)

• He always expose three (3) important areas of his body (throat, heart, crotch area)

• Having his arms spread out wide displays ultimate POWER!

• Anytime he can sit with his back against the wall and face out to the room—he does it!

Tip for Powerful Body Language when SITTING:

Remember the phrase, “Sit TALL, Sit PROUDLY, Sit like an ALPHA male!”

Get the ALPHA EDGE! Start Building Your "Decision-Making Muscle"!

By Skip La Cour

Success and Leadership Coach
Creator of the MANformation Personal Development Program for Men

Practice and Exercise Making Decisions Quickly and Confidently

When deciding what he really wants in his life, the powerful Alpha male makes those decisions quickly and confidently. You too must learn to be quick and decisive when identifying what you really want as you strive to become a more effective leader.

You learn how to make decisions quickly and confidently by making as many of them as possible, any time you can. It doesn't matter how big or small the decisions are, just make as many of them as you can. If your superior at work asks you how an important and involved project is going to turn out, quickly and confidently tell him what you think. If you are eating at a restaurant with a group of friends and the waitress asks what you want to order, make your decision quickly and confidently. There is nothing more appealing and charismatic to other people than a man who can make decisions. And gentlemen, there is probably nothing more unappealing and unattractive than a man who belabors over the simplest decisions in life.

Just like building muscle through exercise in the gym, you will start building your “decision-making muscle” the more you exercise making decisions.

So, what if you jump into the decision-making mode and make some bad decisions? You can always make adjustments to your decisions or make entirely new decisions later if needed or when you have more information. You can't be afraid to make decisions if you want to become a more effective leader. And, you can never make any decisions based on fear. Any decision based on fear is the wrong decision.

This is another key difference between the Alpha male and less dominant and beta males. Less dominant and beta males will go through the process of collecting massive amounts of information before making any decision. They invest a lot of time into the process of making any decision. If a decision they've made doesn't turn out to be the best one, they take themselves through the entire involved process all over again, collecting even more information and investing even more valuable time. The more decisions you make, the greater your chances for more victories. In life, it is the number of victories that you experience—not a higher percent of victories compared to losses—that will eventually get you where you want to go.

The Alpha Male WELCOMES the Opportunity to Effectively Resolve Disagreements, Conflicts, and Confrontations

By Skip La Cour
Creator of the MANformation Personal Development Program for Men

He understands that disagreements, conflicts, and confrontations are NOT necessarily bad things that should be avoided.

The Alpha male understands that disagreements, conflicts, and confrontations are bound to happen from time to time in the competitive world he lives in. He understands that occasional disagreements, conflicts, and confrontations are just inevitable challenges that will sometimes happen playing in the “game” in life.

The Alpha male does NOT view every single conflict as a negative event. He understands that conflict is oftentimes a MANDATORY step toward getting to the very best solution. He is mentally and emotionally prepared for conflict. The Alpha male WELCOMES the opportunity to effectively resolve conflict when it occurs.

Have you heard of the expression, "It's not personal; it's business"? Well, that's exactly how the Alpha male views the occasional conflicts that occur in his life.

“It's not personal; it's just what sometimes happens when people interact.'”

Now, let's compare the Alpha male's perspective to that of less dominant men and Beta males: Less dominant and Beta males feel they are the “better man” when they successfully avoid disagreements, conflicts, and confrontations.

That is a belief system that must be DESTROYED immediately!

You must understand that are NOT necessarily a "better" person just because you can successfully avoid these challenging situations. If fact, you are probably selling yourself short with other people by doing so.

Disagreements, conflicts, and confrontations are oftentimes important parts of the negotiation process between people that will eventually lead to agreements that can satisfy BOTH parties.

Of course, it may appear that you are getting along well with people when conflict is avoided! At least, it will in the short run it will.

Consider this point:

How hard is it to stay out of other people's way and give them what they want? If you spend a lot of time and energy avoiding disagreements, conflicts, and confrontation like the supposed "good little boy" you were taught to be many years ago, you must realize this:

While you've been "successfully" avoiding conflict and have only gotten in five or so conflicts in the last couple of years, the other person that you need to confront may have gotten into five conflicts BEFORE LUNCH TODAY.

Who do you think is going to be more skilled, confident, and comfortable when you go head-to-head with that person?

The bottom line comes down to this:

Is that mindset and approach REALLY working for you? Be honest! If you are in a place of pain because you are unable to get what you really want in your life, you absolutely must be honest with yourself. If you want to have more and better options in life, you absolutely must be honest with yourself.

The Alpha male is extremely confident and comfortable in the midst of conflict. How does he become so confident and comfortable? The Alpha male gets confident and comfortable by constantly stepping up to the challenge every time he must.

If he THINKS that he must stand up for himself and his position—then he DOES it! He conditions himself to never back down during those challenging times—even if he is uncomfortable. The Alpha male “practices and exercises” this MINDSET until it is firmly integrated into his personality. The Alpha male “practices and exercises” TAKING ACTION until doing so is firmly integrated into his personality.

When you "practice and exercise" anything you do on a continual basis long enough, how can you NOT become good at it? And, once you are good at it, how can you NOT eventually feel more and more confident and comfortable when you are doing it?

The Alpha male understands that the competition for the very best options in life can be FIERCE at times! The Alpha male understand that the “game” is always in “play”—whether he chooses to participate in it or not. He simply understands the competitive nature that's inherent in a select few number of people—especially in other Alpha male leaders.

The Alpha male also understands that other people do NOT always live by his rules, values, beliefs, and standards. He understands that other people may not even believe in them. He never makes the mistake of assuming that they will—or even that they should. And, the Alpha male never takes it personally when other people do NOT play life by his same rules, values, beliefs, and standards.

When the Alpha male does get into conflicts, he doesn't feel the need to talk about them afterward. He doesn't need the "emotional therapy" of talking, justifying, rationalizing, and explaining the conflict to other people. There is no need for him to do so because there is nothing for him to "recover" from because he never viewed any conflict as a "bad" event in the first place.

Make sure that you immediately adopt the perspective of the Alpha male when it comes to disagreements, conflicts, and confrontations. Then, start “practicing and exercising” holding onto this mindset and taking these actions steps every chance you get.

And remember, when it comes to effectively resolving disagreements, conflicts, and confrontations:

If you THINK it—you must DO it!

There's no backing down from this moment forward!

The Alpha Male Wonders "Why WOULDN'T You Think I'm Awesome?"

By Skip La Cour

Creator of the MANformation Personal Development Program for Men

Being a Man Who Simply Assumes That the Best Outcome Will Occur Is the Most Powerful, Influential, and Charismatic Quality You Can Have

The Alpha male has conditioned his mind to assume the very best in himself and in other people in every situation. He simply assume that other people see the best in him. He simply assume that other people expect the best out of him.

Less-dominant men who struggle being leaders subconsciously prepare for the worst in every situation—and simply view that way of thinking as being “practical” and “realistic.”

It is that really true?

Reconsider that way of thinking if it applies to you. Whatever you believe to be true for you, WILL be true for you. You will walk, talk, think, act, and react as if it is really true. The FACTS will be irrelevant.

Look, none of us are fortune tellers with crystal balls that can predict the future. You really don’t know for sure if you will fail or succeed, do you? That being said, why in the world would you predict, focus on, and make contingency plans for FAILURE?

Start conditioning your mind to expect the very best outcome in every situation. Expect the best out of yourself. Expect the best in your future. Expect the best in other people. And, expect the best outcome in your interactions with other people.

Just assume that everyone thinks you are awesome. Just assume that everyone thinks you are intelligent. Just assume everyone thinks that your ideas are amazing. Just assume that everyone thinks you are handsome. Just assume that everyone thinks you are "The MAN"!

Back up your highly assumptive spirit with powerful and congruent body language. When you do, you will get other people to willing, joyfully, and enthusiastically "buy into your frame"; live in your version of “reality”; and actually WANT to help you get what you want in life.

You will be AMAZED how people will automatically believe that your beliefs about yourself are true—simply because YOU do. With enough “practice and exercise,” you’ll be ASTONISHED just how effectively you can LEAD other people into your way of seeing the world.

And, you know what? You’ll lead YOURSELF into thinking that way about yourself at a higher level at the same time.

Start “practicing and exercising” being highly assumptive. It is the CORNERSTONE to being a powerful, influential and charismatic Alpha male.

“I want to thank you for helping me start my own MANFormation into the powerful Alpha Male that I always dreamed I could be. After years of frustration and being put down by my peers, I realized that my life was that of a beta-male. I lacked the confidence to take charge and be a leader. Enter your Mindset and Actions of a Powerful Alpha Male Leader seminar. I diligently followed your instructions and practiced them on a consistent basis. Already, my life is turning around for the better—even in the face of harsh challenges. I would never have the mindset nor the drive and confidence to make my life better without you opening the doors to being an Alpha Male. Thank you very much!”

"I just turned 50 but I've been dragging along for years this lingering baggage of not being as fit as I would like. Plus, I had lost that powerful male swagger that had served me so well in the past. So, I stepped up to the plate. I made up my mind that these failings of mine had to stop now and signed up for Skip La Cour’s ‘The Mindset and Actions of a Powerful Alpha Male Leader’ seminar. Now, I'm thinking, feeling and acting like a man 20 years younger, getting strong and lean, and even my business relationships have stepped up big time. This is already becoming one of the best years of my life!”

The Alpha Male Has Mastered the "Momentary Neutral Expression"

By Skip La Cour
Creator of the MANformation Personal Development Program for Men

Learn to React to What's Going Around You On YOUR Timetable--and Never Anyone Else's

The Alpha male is a master at displaying the "momentary neutral expression" on his face. He makes sure that he does so during both positive and negative encounters with other people.

The Alpha male is calm, cool, and collected during every social situation. He never shows emotion on anyone else's timetable but his own. The Alpha male always controls the environment of emotion in the group he is in and has everyone in the group working from his frame. They are subconsciously "trained" by the Alpha male to seek his approval because he establishes himself as the leader of the group.

The Alpha male will not show any emotion without making the person he is dealing with or other people in the group earn it. When someone tries to amuse or impress the Alpha male, his smiles, chuckles, and approval are slow in coming. When another person greets the Alpha male, he slowly breaks out his smile in way that lets the other person know that this smile is just for them. The Alpha male understands that the other person will appreciate the uniqueness of his emotion when it is earned--instead of just given away quickly, freely, and easily.

People will sometimes test the Alpha male or try to establish the frame of what's going on for themselves. They will try to "push his buttons." When someone tries to get a negative reaction from the Alpha male, that person immediately realizes that his or her efforts are futile. The Alpha male simply gives the impression that he doesn't "get it" (although he certainly does). The other person will never get a reaction from the Alpha male until the Alpha male DECIDES to react.

The Alpha male works from his own timetable and decides when, how, and how much emotion he gives to another person's words or actions.

This is just one more of the subtle ways the Alpha male is influential, persuasive, and charismatic--and always controls the frame.

Are You Living Your Life Like a LION or a LAMB?

Hello Men.

It’s Skip La Cour with another MANformation Message.

This quote was painted by some gang members on an East Los Angeles wall . . .

“It is better to live one day as a lion, than a thousand years as a lamb.”

It got me thinking . . .

How much do I REALLY believe this to be the “right” way to live my life?

Not by what I INTELLECTUALLY believe to be true—but by my ACTIONS.

Do my day-to-day actions support my intellectual beliefs?

How about you?

Sure, we can all be “manly men” and SAY that we’d rather live on day as a lion than a thousand years as a lamb.

But is that really true?

And if it’s NOT true, what are you going to do to start living that way?

You see, there is no “right” or “wrong” way to live your life. What’s “right” is what you believe to be true—for you. There are pros and cons to living like a lion—and there are pros and cons to living like a lamb.

Every single day, you are making the DECISION on whether to be a lion or a lamb based on the “rules” that you’ve created in your own mind.

The “rules” that you developed over the years as how you should and should NOT live your life are what’s really determining if you are a lion or a lamb—not what you intellectually believe to be true.

But how many of us have really taken the time to think about WHY we came up with the RULES that we are living by?

Exactly where did they come from? Were they developed from a place of STRENGTH—or from FEAR?

When it comes to your MANformation; becoming the MAN you really want to be; and getting everything in life that you really want, you MUST invest some time thinking about how you developed the set of rules that you live by.

Again, I am going to ask you “Where did the rules that you currently choose to live by come from? Were they developed from a place of STRENGTH—or from FEAR?

More importantly, are these rules that you live by SERVING YOU WELL? Or, are they HOLDING YOU BACK?

You are going to have to be honest with yourself.

During my audio seminar course “The Mindset and Actions of a Powerful Alpha Male Leader”, I use my many years of motivational coaching and leadership experience to take you through a process that examines the rules you are currently living by.

Then, I take you though a step-by-step series of exercises to create new, more empowering rules—ones that you can TOTALLY believe in and live by—that align with where you really want to go in your life.

If you want to live like a LION, you are going to have to learn how to walk, talk, think, and TAKE ACTION like a LION!

"The Mindset and Actions of a Powerful Alpha Male Leader" Audio Seminar Course Outline

Why "Nice Guys" Finish Last
Session One (1 hour; 57 minutes)

The reason why you are not getting what you want in life-at the level you really want-may be in how you are defining the word "nice" in critical situations in your life. Alpha Leaders interpret being "nice" as mature, productive MEN. Conversely, Passive Followers who struggle to get what they want in life still think and act like the obedient little BOYS that they were expected to be when they were young.

Learn seventeen (17) of the most-insightful SPECIFIC differences in the way an Alpha Leader interprets being "nice" and "fair" compared to less-dominant men and Passive Followers. Adopt this Alpha Leader mindset, even the playing field, and FINALLY begin to win at the level you want to win.

The Body Language of a Powerful Alpha Leader
Session Two (2 hours; 1 minute)

You can spot a powerful and charismatic Alpha Leader the moment he walks into a room, can't you? Why do you think it is so obvious to everyone that he is "the man" without knowing a thing about him?

Learn forty-three (43) of the most-intriguing, SPECIFIC things an Alpha Leader does with his body language, facial expressions, eye movements, and voice qualities in certain situations that transmits his strength, certainty, and confidence. Also, learn what he will NEVER do in other situations because doing so will take away from his powerful presence. Adopt this body language at the appropriate time and become more influential, persuasive, and charismatic to those people around you.

===============================

The Specific Influence, Persuasion, Charismatic Skills of an Alpha Leader
Session Three (2 hours; 4 minutes)

The Alpha Leader has the amazing ability to get other people to willingly, joyfully, and enthusiastically help him get what he wants in his life. Learn twenty (20) of the most influential, persuasive, and charismatic skills of an Alpha Leader. Adopt these winning skills and you, too, will get people excited to help you get what YOU want.

The Structured Thoughts, Actions, and Lifestyle of a Powerful Alpha Leader
Session Four (2 hours; 11 minutes)

Learn thirty-one (31) SPECIFIC ways an Alpha Leader structures his day and gets himself to follow through with what he knows he needs to do to get what he wants in life. Adopt this structure and you'll start leading your own life more effectively-and leading others too.

Goal-Setting Workshop - Alpha Leader-Style
Session Five (1 hour; 58 minutes)

An Alpha Leader wins in life at an incredible level because of his outrageous standards, tremendously high expectations, and lofty goals. With what you've learned during the previous four Seminar sessions, you will NOW be ready to start going for what you REALLY want out of your life-instead of only what you've been settling for in the past. This goal-setting session will make you more assertive, create an Alpha Leader model to aspire toward, and get you to enthusiastically work toward it.

Successfully Integrating the Thoughts and Actions of an Alpha Leader Into Your Lifestyle
Session Six (1 hours; 33 minutes)

Learn thirty-seven (37) of the most-effective, SPECIFIC strategies an Alpha Leader executes for CONTINUAL mental, emotional, psychological, and physical growth. When you execute these powerful and charismatic leadership strategies, you will enjoy CONSTANT IMPROVEMENT in your Alpha Leader thoughts and actions.
