I know this is an old topic but I wanted two put my 2 cents in on Jonathan... .and why I think he has the success that he does have.
I've read with him twice via chat.
They were both cold reads.
I'm not a psychologis t but I do come from a strong communicati ons background.
I feel like his success comes from being such a good communicato r.
He communicate s in a way that a repin a customer call center has been trained to handle a problem.
For example:
Me: " I am wondering if I should contact him."
Jon: " Yes, Sharron, you should, and here is what I want you to do. X..then Y..then Z."
Jonathan gives direct "calls to action". It is also key that he breaks them down into small, sequential steps.
This gives psychologic al relief because the caller can now take productive steps towards their goal.
What this does is alleviate feelings of helplessnes s. And since he is now guiding the caller, it cultivates a sense of trust.
And possibly along the way, he gets lucky and help people get unstuck.
Be aware of this as you consult advisors. Are they gifted or just great at handling conflict?
