Sharí Alexander is a persuasiveness coach known for bringing the “dark arts” of influence into the light. She has built her career as a speaker, writer, trainer, and coach by revealing powerful secrets behind the conversational influence.

Her mission is to put these powerful skills in the hands of entrepreneurs and leaders so that they can effectively be a positive influence in their businesses and lives.
Sharí has designed numerous communication training courses and speeches that cover these enlightening areas of enhanced communication, along with self-study programs.

EXERCISE: Understanding Someone’s VIBES.
In the second segment, Shari goes deeps into describing how to best understand the basics of influential communication. It involves what she references and a person’s VIBES.
V – Values
I – Identifiers
B – Beliefs
E – Emotional triggers
S – Secret Goals
If you can understand and know all of those qualities, you can be extremely effective. To first know them about someone else, you must know them about yourself.
The exercise is to take some time to identify your own VIBES.
