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. 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 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 Tele-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)

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!”
