NLP At Your Best… And Your Worst

It’s said that NLP is meant to bring out the best in you. Well, I’ve recently just concluded an amazing training with a bunch of high energy individuals, and you can catch them on my Facebook album.

What I’ve learnt is that no matter what tool we have, we need to always have faith that the future can be better for us. We are not who we “are”. The only “best” we can be is being “better” every time.

Sometimes, that’s not possible. I know some people who will say “But Stuart… we are in a crisis right now! How can you have “faith”?” Well, that’s the whole idea.

NLP Representational Systems

According to NLP theory, we have four major representational systems – visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and digital. A visual representational system means you prefer seeing over hearing or touching. Auditory, of course means discussing, talking or sounding things out. Kinesthetic relates to doing, moving and the like. and digital refers to sequential processes (e.g. a flowchart or standard operating procedures).

Identify your own preferences when you think of your favorite activities, the thoughts in your head, and basically come to awareness of how you get a sense of the world around you.

NLP Meta Programs: What Are They?

The theory behind NLP is that our communication is affected by our mental “filters”. These filters are the reason why we delete, distort and generalize things.

NLP Meta Programs are one example of mental filters. We tend to have certain personality preferences. NLP Meta Programs are closely associated with several personality traits like the introvert and extrovert dimension in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.

However, from the NLP perspective, meta programs go beyond personality. Thought it is the fabric of our behavior, it is likely that meta program preferences can change, unlike regular “personality” traits. In other words, if we want to be a leader, we can model after the leadership meta programs — the traits that make a person a leader.
