OK, I admit it – it’s not real easy to see what Aristotle, a lizard, a chimp and Mr. Logic have to teach you about how to use your NLP skills; what you might do to improve your relationships, communicate more effectively and influence the people in your life?
…and it’s not all about good times — with the “professional persuaders” warming up there influencing muscles as another election looms over us and we’re subjected to a barrage of vague abstract “Spin” – what can you do to tune up your “bulls***” detectors?
Tonight we took on the “thorny” subject of how to communicate, influence and persuade people ethically and effectively in everyday life.
NLP has a whole raft of tools and techniques to help you do this and my outcome for this session was to introduce a simple 3 stage model that I’ve developed that will ensure that your messages are more likely to be accepted.
The 3 simple steps of this model allow you to use all of your NLP skills in a structured way that flows naturally with how your 3 brains keep you alive, happy and sane ;o)
We could call this the Anth’s “Evolution Model” of persuasion, but, Aristotle was teaching this 2000 years before Darwin, Bandler or Grinder…
…and he just noticed what was going on around him – Don’t you think it’s amazing what you can notice if you keep your eyes peeled, ears tuned and others senses open?
If you were there last night don’t be too suprised if you begin to discover new things about what’s going on around you, because as you practise what you’ve begun to learn this evening, you are going to be noticing more than you expect. Maybe they’ll make a movie about it one day – I wonder what movies you’re already playing a role in, do you?
Keep enjoying what you’re noticing in the people around you and I’ll look forward to seeing you for some more laughing and learning next time.
Anth.
Wednesday’s session was really good I’m learning lots at this group. Would love to learn about well formed outcomes – could this be a future subject?
