Resolving Conflict by Exploring Different Perspectives

The application of NLP Perceptual Positions

NLP has many applications; conflict resolution is one particularly useful way of using NLP. In NLP we have a saying that ‘the map is not the territory’. Your map at any given time is your interpretation of events around you , the same is true of the people whom you interact with. As you will be aware from the complexities of human relationships our internal maps of the world are both unique and complex. In this article I will explore perceptions and how by changing perceptions you can resolve conflict or at least get greater understanding of another person’s perspective.

Making Sense of the World - NLP

How we know what we know

When I first learned about NLP representational systems, a whole new world opened up to me. The question I asked myself was ‘how could I have not made these distinctions before?’ The tools of NLP enabled me to significantly improve my communication skills and success in business and social activities. This article is centred on how we as individuals make sense of the world through our internal maps and how you can improve the way you interact with others by stepping into their map of the world.

Training Metaphors: Priming the Unconscious Mind

Priming the Unconscious

Just recently I had some painting work done on a building I own. The previous owner had given all the external masonry and wooden surfaces a coat of paint without any proper preparation the result being the new paint quickly peeled off. I wanted to restore the building to its former glory. The firm I hired were meticulous in their preparation, rubbing down all the surfaces and properly filling all cracks and blemishes. They then applied a coat of primer to the building. When I made a comment to the decorator how impressed I was with the thoroughness he commented ‘priming is the crucial part of making the work not only look good, but be lasting’

Craving, Acting or Being Successful

Craving, Acting or Being Successful

I was talking to a person who claimed to be trained in NLP last week and he was telling me about his cravings for success and how he would do anything to succeed. I found this interesting, the person clearly wasn’t succeeding in the way he wanted to, and as is often the case, a person’s linguistic constructs say a lot about how that person acts. In this article I will explore how we construct our world through language and how through changing discourse, we change our experience. I will also challenge the cause and effect myth, arguing that the mechanical metaphor for cause and effect is highly limiting when mapped to human experience. You can truly be the architect of an exciting future by recognising you are being successful in each step of the goal as opposed craving success or acting as if your are successful. It’s not about craving or acting, it’s about ‘being’.

PhotoReading and New Pathways to the Inner Mind

From Learning Strategies

Discovering New Pathways

Graduates of the PhotoReading course report improvements in information processing including increased reading speed, comprehension, and recall or use of information. Most interestingly, participants with closed head injuries, brain-lesion survivors of traumatic head injuries and strokes, extreme low-vision persons, and diagnosed dyslexics have also reported benefits after graduating successfully from the course.

The Key to Successful Sales

By Michael Carroll and Alexander Buck

If you were to ask a group of people what the key factors for being successful in a sales position you might hear answers like; good communicator; ability to influence; a people person; target orientated; a great listener; well presented; persistence; good knowledge of product or service; adaptable to different people and situations; being able to think on your feet; a problem solver; confident, and so on.

These are all great answers, but in fact there is one answer that comes before all of these and it very much relates to a way of being. I am talking about something that if we don’t have it, it would make a job in sales virtually impossible, or certainly your earning capacity would be severely restricted. I am of course talking about motivation.
