Metaprograms Part 1: Practical NLP Podcast 59

Metaprograms in NLP are one of the sets of filters we use to create our map of the world. They run 'in the background' so we are usually not consciously aware of them. They drive: what we pay attention to what we respond to what motivates us how we interact with the people around us the kind of language that will influence us This podcast introduces metaprograms (and five reasons you need to know about them!) and takes an in-depth look at one of the most important ones, the "Towards/Away From" m...

Levels Of Change: Practical NLP Podcast 58

This week's podcast covers one of the most useful models in NLP - the 'Logical Levels' or 'Neuro-Logical Levels' model developed by Robert Dilts. This is a powerful map for coaching individuals, and is also a useful way to analyse change in a team or organisation. It's even applicable in the field of branding. The podcast includes: Why moving house may not be enough on its own to solve your neighbour problems Why many training courses don't have a lasting effect Why Hollywood produces so many du...

Parts Integration: Practical NLP Podcast 57

Parts Integration (also known as the 'Visual Squash') is one of the most powerful changework techniques in NLP. In this podcast we guide you through it and show you how it works. As usual with changework techniques, don't try this yourself on serious problems! Always consult a competent professional. However, if you want to try out parts integration with a dilemma or something you feel 'in two minds' about, go ahead. In this week's episode: What we mean by 'parts' in NLP How they are formed Why ...

Recognising And Dealing With Incongruence: Practical NLP Podcast 56

'Incongruence' is when someone is in two minds about something, or when their behaviour doesn't match their words. It can be simultaneous (wanting two different things, being stuck in a dilemma) or sequential (acting one way some of the time, and maybe the opposite way at other times). Other people can usually spot when you're behaving incongruently long before you do. This week's podcast includes: How incongruence can torpedo a leader How to discover your own 'incongruence signal' How to challe...

The Six Step Reframe: Practical NLP Podcast 55

A useful way to look at 'problem' behaviours is to remember there is a positive intention behind them. Separating the intention from the results (which may be unwanted) opens up the possibility of change without 'resistance'. John Grinder's 'Six Step Reframe' process is an elegant format that uses this principle. You can use this format to change your own habits - or if you're a therapist, add it to your toolkit for use with others. When I was a hypnotherapist 20 years ago, discovering that this...

Reframing and Preframing: Practical NLP Podcast 54

All meaning is context-dependent - so when we place events, things or qualities in a different frame, our emotional responses and probably behavioural responses can also change to something more helpful. This podcast explains the two types of 'standard' reframing in NLP (context and meaning reframes) and adds a third, the 'figure-ground' reframe. It also shows how preframing can save you a lot of trouble. Featuring: Why it's not necessarily a bad thing when your horse runs away The key distincti...

Frames: Practical NLP Podcast 53

A new topic for the next series of podcasts: frames! The meaning we attach to what we perceive, and even what we notice versus what we don't notice, is strongly influenced by which 'frames' we are using. This podcast introduces the topic, and explains some commonly used frames in NLP and when they may be useful in a business, training or coaching context. The frames mentioned in this podcast are briefly described in this post, so rather than duplicate it I'll just direct you there if you're inte...

The New Behaviour Generator: Practical NLP Podcast 52

In the last few episodes we’ve been talking about strategies. I'd like to round off this section by mentioning a powerful NLP technique for doing things better or installing new strategies - the New Behaviour Generator. As far as I know, this method was developed by Richard Bandler. It's like positive mental rehearsal on steroids! These are the steps: Describe a behaviour you would like to be able to do, or how you would like to be able to do something better. Start from a belief and internal di...

Strategies And The TOTE Model: Practical NLP Podcast 45

In this episode we start to get to grips with ‘Strategies’ - our internal ‘programs’ for doing what we do, both problems and the things we’re good at - and the TOTE Model, the standard model used in NLP to make sense of them.

Practical NLP Podcast 41 – NLP, Blogging and Social Media

This week something a bit different - social media expert Sarah Arrow of sarkemedia.com interviewing me about how NLP can help bloggers and people using social media in their marketing. I posted the video of the interview (done via Google Hangouts) previously - here is the audio from it. OK, you don't get to see Sarah, but on the other hand you won't get distracted by Hangouts' automated cutting from her to me and back! Sound quality not up to its usual standard this week (Hangouts inserted some...
