    In the current season of NLP Matters, we have been talking about the NLP Model of Communication. This model encapsulates and integrates our physiological, psychological, and cognitive functioning as it explains how humans collect and process information through our 5 senses to make meaning and create our own map of reality. In the last episode, we discussed the totally fascinating functioning of our 7 unconscious filters. Starting with– Time/Space/Matter/Energy, Language, and Memories. In this episode, we'll be exploring another three filters - Decisions, Values and Beliefs, and Attitudes. Listen to the podcast to find out more.

    As we continue our exploration of the workings of the human mind, we can see why learning the NLP Model of Communication can assist us to apply our knowledge to create change, growth, and new behaviours.  In this episode, we'll begin to look at the unconscious filters which sift through the incoming sensory data we experience as we continually construct our reality and our relationships with others. In the NLP Model of Communication there are seven unconscious filters that are key to how we as humans select the information/data we focus on in our external environment - time/space/matter/energy (that's all one filter), language, memories, decisions, metaprograms, values and beliefs, and attitudes.  In this episode, we will explore how the first 3 filters - Time/ Space / Matter /Energy,  language, and our memories impact our perception and the construction of our map of reality.

    We are now well on our way into our investigation into what NLP has to say about the totally fascinating workings of the human mind, and why this is important to how we think, behave and go about constructing our reality and our relationships with others. In this episode, we'll look at the role of our ‘states' or emotions.  Over the past few episodes, we've been talking about the ways in which our senses and our mind combine to construct our version of reality. So where do our internal feelings or emotions fit into this NLP Model of Communication, and why does it matter? Listen to the podcast to find out more.

    In the past two episodes, we have begun exploring what NLP has to say about the fascinating workings of the human mind. Learning about how our minds work reveals the structure that underpins how we think, behave, and construct our relationships with others. It means we can discover how we create our reality.  In this episode, we'll discuss the processes that enable us to selectively filter the information or data that we then use to construct our own experience of reality. We will focus on 3 key processes: deletion, distortion, and generalization. Listen to the podcast to find out more.

    In our last episode, we discussed how as humans, we use our senses and neurology to construct an internal version of an external reality. We also said that by definition each of these “internal representations” or “maps” are different and unique.  As humans, there’s a lot of information available to us in the external environment moment to moment. So much that it’s physically impossible for our senses to take all this information in, and because we cannot process the sheer volume of information available, we go through a process of selecting the information we do take in and the information that we filter out.  In this episode, we’re going to look in more detail at how this actually works as we explore how we construct our internal representation of the world and the process of filtering information.

    The Presuppositions of NLP provide us with a kind of code of conduct or compass that guides us as we use and apply powerful NLP techniques. Together, they form the ecological framework that ensures that the practice of NLP is constructive and expansive. In this episode, we’ll review these presuppositions and discover how when looked at as a whole, we have a really solid framework not only for how we use NLP but for our living our lives in general.

    In this episode, we’ll delve deeper into the final three NLP Presuppositions - that all procedures should increase wholeness, that all procedures should be designed to increase choice, and that behaviour and change should be evaluated in terms of context and ecology. Much like other NLP presuppositions such as people are doing the best they can with the resources they’ve got, and we all have everything within us when we need to make the changes we want in our life, the presupps we are looking at in this episode continue the theme that there isn’t any part of us we have to get rid of or fix, rather all procedures should increase our choice and our wholeness.  And, when we look at the final NLP presupp of understanding our behaviour in terms of context and ecology, we see that it gives us the freedom to accept ourselves. Maybe, if necessary, even forgive ourselves and others rather than taking up a position of judgement and criticism.  Ultimately, this acceptance frame means we can choose to continue as we are or we can choose to change based on this newfound wisdom.  Listen to the podcast to learn more.

    As you follow these podcasts, one of the pictures you will be starting to form about NLP is its expansive nature. As we apply NLP in our lives, we get to expand our notion of what is possible for humans to achieve. In NLP, we emphasise ways of being, thinking, and doing, that increase growth, choice, possibility, personal responsibility, and ultimately, personal power. Together, they can be seen as the characteristics of what Carol Dweck a Professor of Psychology at Stanford University calls, the growth mindset. This expansive mindset stands in contrast to a fixed mindset which is characterized by resistance to change, fighting to keep the status quo, limiting choice, blame, and helplessness. In this episode, we’ll continue to explore two more fantastic NLP Presuppositions that ultimately show us the power of bringing behavioural flexibility in our lives - The Law of Requisite Variety and that the Meaning of Communication Is the Response You Get.

    Last week, we explored three NLP presuppositions that focus on acknowledging and accepting our personal power by redefining our responsibility as communicators. This time, we’ll delve deeper into two more NLP Presuppositions that really challenge us to see the world from a different perspective  - that people are not their behaviours, and that everyone is doing the best they can with the resources they have available. In NLP, we describe this as taking up different perceptual positions. These different perceptual positions mean more than just an intellectual acknowledgment that everyone has their own version of reality or “map” of the world, rather, we take the imaginative leap and wonder, “What if I had their map? How could I see their world?”  Listen to the podcast to listen more. Show Notes and Blog NLP Matters Podcast See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Resistance, Behaviour, and Feedback - NLP Matters, Episode #032

    In this episode, we’ll explore three more presuppositions of NLP. First, is that resistance to communication is a sign of a lack of rapport. Second, is that the most important information about a person is their behaviour. And lastly, that there is no failure, only feedback. These 3 presuppositions share a common emphasis on looking for meaning beyond just our words or actions or outcomes. They focus on acknowledging and accepting our personal power by redefining our responsibility as communicators. Responsibility for communicating means that we need to notice more than just what is said and encompass behaviour as being a primary indicator of meaning. Finally, we also need to take on board the feedback available to us in a way that means we can use it to grow, adapt, and continuously improve our communication and connection both to ourselves and others.  Listen to the podcast to listen more.

These presuppositions provide us with the compass that guides us as we use and apply powerful NLP techniques to take control of our own lives and really make a difference. There are a number of presuppositions of NLP., in fact, 14 in all. Despite the fact that they have varying origins, they form the basis upon which the work of NLP is built, and together, they provide the framework that ensures the techniques and strategies of NLP are developed and implemented ethically and responsibly.  In this episode, we’ll briefly introduce each of the presuppositions, and over the next few episodes, we will explore how they can apply in our own lives in more depth.

This also means we get even more clarity on who we need to be to deliver on these actions that will get our results. Having looked at steps 1, 2, and 3, in the Well-Formedness Conditions the next step we want to explore is again confirming that our goal is ecological. Because we have worked even more on our goal and we have even more sensory specific detail, our goal has developed, and that means we may find that there are some new misalignments between our conscious and unconscious minds or other potential impacts that arise from our goal that we didn’t notice before. It is also important that we have more than one way to achieve it. By revisiting an ecology check and making sure that we have more than one way to achieve our goal, at this point we can reconfirm that our goal is aligned and that we are ready to go!

    In the previous episode, we introduced the NLP technique called the Well-Formedness Conditions, which adds the final layer to the journey of Building our Successful Life by ensuring our goals are robust and ready to go. The theme of this first NLP Matters podcast series is to support us in working our way through the process of really building the life we want to have, our own version of a successful life. As we work through this process layer by layer, we gain even more clarity on what it is we actually do want to have! When we have used the first of the Five Success Principles, Knowing our Outcome, as well as the Keys to an Achievable Outcome, we get an even greater understanding on what needs to be done – the targeted actions, to achieve the outcome, and who we need to be to deliver on these actions to get the results. The next step is making sure that we believe both consciously and unconsciously that our desired outcome is totally achievable because we do not want to invest all this effort and time only to set ourselves up to fail, do we?  This is where the Well Formedness Conditions adds so much more value. When we use it together with the Five Success Principles and Keys to an Achievable Outcome, this final check confirms that all the work we have already done planning and preparing for our success is not only possible, but even more than that it is also totally do-able. In this episode, we take a deeper dive into the first two of these conditions – stating our goal in the positive, and having the goal self-initiated and self-maintained.

    Since episode 16, we have been exploring the NLP technique called the Keys to an Achievable Outcome. I trust that throughout these episodes, you are getting a really clear insight into the power of these keys when it comes to designing and delivering on your goals. Having covered keys one to eight, let’s get to the ninth and final key, which is, “Is this goal ecological?”  This is a powerful reflective question for us to ask ourselves, because too often we may choose goals and invest great effort, time, and perhaps even money into them only to discover that in fact the goal does not align with who we are, because even when it is self initiated and self maintained it still may not really be our own goal. Perhaps, we chose it because in our culture it is seen as a good thing, or maybe we chose it to please or satisfy someone or something else. Or perhaps we chose a goal and then we discover that the goal has consequences we did not consider and maybe those consequences are not acceptable to us.  The main role of the ninth key in keys to an achievable outcome is to have us reflect on these aspects of our goal.  So, how can we tell if our goal is ecological?

But how do you actually know when you’ve actually achieved your goal?  You may find it hard to believe, but quite often, people don’t recognize when they have achieved their goal. We may have something we are aiming to do or something you want to achieve, and we become so busy doing it that we get so caught up in the process. And, when we have actually achieved the goal, it is then, what’s next?  Our attention and focus have shifted beyond the goal, which means that we don’t get to celebrate our success. In fact, sometimes, we get trapped in a cycle of feeling as though we will never achieve anything, and you wouldn’t want that, would you?  In this episode, we’re going to explore in detail the third and fourth keys to an achievable outcome - specifying the outcome in detail and specifying your evidence procedure, which are both really important to ensure that we get clarity around our goals and around our measurement of success.  Listen to the podcast to learn more.

    Over the past six episodes we have been exploring the NLP 5 Principles for Success. We said at the start of our journey through the Five Principles of Success that with NLP we could study and decode the patterns of thinking, strategies and techniques that are shared by successful people. Using NLP modelling strategies, we discover that it is possible to follow them on our very own path to success. They have made the journey so much easier for us, leading the way and, because we can learn from the best and replicate what successful people have done we absolutely can achieve success for ourselves.  Following the 5 success principles gives us a structure that we can use over and over and over again, with the aim to have this structure unconsciously ingrained in everything we do, because every time we do use this structure, we build our neural “muscles”, and so, we begin to master the art and science of setting and achieving our goals.

    We have noted that as successful people we need to invest time, effort, and imagination into some key areas to build and achieve our success.  Firstly, we ensure we meet number one of the 5 Success Principles – Knowing our outcome. This means we are clear about where we are going, our goal. Secondly, we know that no goal can be reached without targeted action. We are not only taking action, but we are taking specific actions that will bring us closer to our goal. Thirdly, we use our sensory acuity so we can check to see if we are on course, and fourthly if we are not totally on track we have the behavioural flexibility to change what we are doing which means we get back on track. Together, these strategies combine to form a powerful framework for success. However, there is one remaining piece!  The fifth and final of the success principles that highlights how successful people have a way of being that supports their success. In NLP, we call this the Physiology and Psychology of Excellence. This principle brings home the importance of not just what you do to achieve success, but also how fundamentally it is who we are being, that is the difference that makes the difference.

They know that secondly no goal can be reached without targeted action, and thirdly they develop the sensory acuity to be able to check to see if they are on course. The question then becomes, what happens if I discover that my course needs correcting? We need to be able to adapt to the new information that tells us our course needs correcting without becoming distracted and blinded by negative thoughts and emotions like blame and despair. If we do, we are likely never to reach our goal, because we are no longer focused on things that can bring us closer to them.

In this episode, we’re going to explore how they all play together in our lives and in the lives of the people around us.  Listen to the podcast to learn more.

    In this episode, we’ll explore in detail the final two core needs from the Six Core Needs Model. These are the need for growth and the need for contribution.  These two needs are sometimes known as higher-order or spiritual needs, and they're slightly different from the first four needs, which we call personality needs.

    In this episode, we’ll explore in detail the first two core needs from the Six Core Needs Model by Tony Robbins. These are the need for certainty and the need for uncertainty. You may remember from our last episode, that a critical feature of this model is that we're talking about needs. This means that they're not merely desires or nice to haves, rather they are essential needs that we must meet. The only choice we get is how we make them. Listen to the podcast to learn more.

    With the continued extreme uncertainty we face in this 2020 world, there are lots of unusual behaviours that we can observe in our communities now. Things like people hoarding particular grocery items or perhaps on a more domestic front, people might be a bit more grumpy than normal or perhaps a bit more lethargic than normal.

And so in this episode, I think it’s time to focus on another fundamental model that provides powerful insight into why people do what they do. This model is the Six Core Needs Model.
