Confidence hypnosis, as you can probably guess by its name, is focused on gaining the trust of any target audience to the point where they can be manipulated without outside awareness of the tactic.  This could be on a one-to-one basis, such as in an employee-employer exchange.  Or it could involve a much larger group of people in which the confidence hypnosis practitioner wishes to influence and dominate for his or her own gain.

One of the first questions my more humble students ask me is always related to if there is anything immoral about such an activity.  However I would like to reassure my readers that it's not a tool (which confidence hypnosis is) that is harmful, but the person utilising that tool.  We all have a choice about how to use our skills and talents, and training in confidence hypnosis is just the same as any other.

What you need to remember first and foremost is that world leaders and politicians have been using these language softening and manipulation techniques for years.  Sure, they've maybe not had formal training.  Even more interesting, they might not have realised their use of these strategies!

Regardless of the above, the fact remains that people who employ confidence hypnosis move on to become much more successful, powerful and influential than their peers.  There is a reason why books on rhetoric focus in on specific famous speakers, usually involving presidents, prime ministers and other famous names. 

The reality is that even if you aren't born with these talents, you have two options.  You can pay someone else to feed you the material to get through specific incidents (such as a speech in a government office).  Or, you can truly train yourself to understand these methods; this is usually done via a learning course or mentorship program.  There are several well-respected colleges offering training in such areas, although potential students should always follow advice about how to assess courses on offer, just like any other wily consumer.
