Unconscious mindsets
Our mindsets influence our behaviour, sometimes without us even being aware of them. We do not even know they are there, but they create emotions in us which can trigger limbic reactions in others. Take a look at this example:
Rishi is an expert in his field. He has a very specific knowledge set and is smarter than others within his area of expertise.
Knowing this, Rishi has an elevated sense of Status. And to enhance that, his limbic system encourages him to think that no one knows as much as him. In fact, his limbic system tells him that others are idiots!
Rishi’s colleagues can sense his perception of them when working with him.
Imagine that you are one of Rishi's colleagues, and you can sense that he thinks you are not very smart.
