Who can use NLP and will it help at work?

Who Can Use NLP?  Will It Be Relevant To The Skills Needed In My WorkplaceNLP is essentially a "meta-skill" that enables you to take control of your thinking and your internal processes, so that you get more out of yourself.  It teaches you how your internal emotional state is a large influence on your productivity, on your interactions with others, on how well you maintain your morale, and how to life others' morale, too. This means that it is a skill relevant to any job.

Why don't New Year Resolutions work?

Why don’t New Year’s resolutions tend to work? Mainly it is because they are made at the conscious level of mind. Resolutions typically make use of will power to implement the desired change, another conscious mind function. 

Some people may feel they have lots of will power and others none at all, regardless of your perceived ability to make change through will power over the long term it is no match for the emotions, imagination and programming of the subconscious mind. 

Through will power you may be able to respond differently to your trigger for a few days or even a week or two.

Can you really change the way you think?

I am passionate about helping people to think purposefully.  I believe that you can change the way you think.  Many people think that their thoughts are not within their control but they are.   Thoughts manifest in pictures, sounds and voices within our heads and we have to manage this constant "chatter" whilst communicating with the external world.  It's a bit like a news reader presenting the news while her producer is speaking directions and updates into their earpiece.

The Baggage Handler

When you're really stressed and you can't think straight and you have loads of choices and you don't know what to do you may be suffering from "overwhelm" which is where your recent past has been littered with decisions that have maybe backfired and now you have lost confidence in your ability to make the right decision - in fact to makeANYdecision!

So I've been looking at some great NLP techniques for shifting baggage. 

Have you tried the SWISH technique?

This is where you compose a picture in your mind of a poor outcome or a challenging event coming up.

Is dieting a waiste of time?

The Daily Mail headline yesterday was "Deadly Cost of Low-Fat Dieting" and warned of cancer risks over counting calories because people coule be putting themselves at risk as unhealthy eating habits could lead to heart disease, cancer and altzheimers disease.  Well should we look at alternatives like the hypnotic virtual gastric band technique?  Does anyone have any experience of this?

Hoe NLP can improve your work and business life

How canNeuro Linguistic Programmingimprove your work / life experience, performance and state of mind?
 
NLPhas been described as “the study of the structure of subjective experience” and “the art and science of communication”.
 
Neurorelates to what’s happening objectively in our brain and subjectively in our minds – in computer analogy you could say that the brain is the hardware in which the mind is the operating software running programmes of thoughts and feelings which influence and control our behaviour.

Performance excellence

Using Anchors to create desired emotional states
 
1 The Circle of Excellence
 
The technique can be used to summon up confidence in a crisis or produce best performance in public.
Examples: Public speaking, interview, sporting event, examination, first date.
It works by allowing you to use a “trigger”, in this case stepping forward into an imaginary circle, usually accompanied by some form of hand gesture such as pinching the thumb and forefinger together, to boost a positive state of mind when under pressure.

The Practical Power of NLP

The Practical Power of NLP
Thinking on purpose Exercise 1
Taking control of your memory
Happy days!
1 Think of a day when you were truly happy
2 Go to that time now, see what you see, hear what you hear and notice how you feel when you bring that memory back.
3 If the memory is a picture, adjust its quality by making it bigger, brighter and bringing it closer.  If you’re observing yourself, try stepping into the picture to see if this makes you feel even better.
(Association enables you to increase the positive emotion and feelings).

How can housing associations respond to the government's requirement for co-regulation?

Orbitalsuccessfor Housing Providers
 
Co-regulation scoping and implementation
 
Co-regulation is dependent on a successful relationship between providers of housing and their tenants using tenant scrutiny and engagement.
 
The government review of social housing regulation specifically states that “the principle of co-regulation should be retained and enhanced” which demonstrates the importance of getting this right across the sector.  It emphasises that fundamental responsibility for effective service delivery lies with the landlord.
