People sometimes find it confusing: is NLP something you use to make change in yourself or something you use to influence and communicate? Think for a moment and you’ll realize that your best connections come out of your best self-awareness.
When you have better awareness of yourself, you understand relationships differently, and your influence changes. NLP is self-awareness directed to building useful connections with other people.
In this series of 4 workshops, we’ll explore the essentials: how to make the smallest change that generates a result; how to see the patterns that lead to better connections with others; how to change your language so that you build agreement, and how to set goals that go deep enough so that move toward them with confidence.
Nov 25: Words that build agreement
NLP starts with the idea that patterns are more important than precision in making language more effective. When your goal is to make a connection so that you can inform or persuade, you begin by building a bridge. Only after you are connected can you expect information or motivation to flow to another person.
