There is a lot of question in terms of who is the best model to use. To be able to select a single model of excellence is great. Many top NLP developers are able to model people well. However, the question goes back to how NLP modeling processes are themselves “model-able”.

The first thing to do is to ask if the selection of models is appropriate. In my experience, it is the selection and categorization of models that enriches the map of modeling. An world-class expert will show you certain things that the average expert will not be able to show you. Similarly, natural experts, trained experts and even those who are always doing what experts consider to be “mistakes” add to the modeling map.
It seems that there are people who are always performing well and those who are not performing well. You know what the ironic thing is? The more of what you get will lead to more of what you will get!
Here’s an interesting model that I believe you may have thought of before. It typically follows that people who are in the top 10% of their game are performing excellently. They have models of excellence and therefore have a high level of focus, determination, energy… all the things about a person you’d love to see.

I was in a taxicab earlier this week and had the opportunity to listen to my government talk about interesting training incentives for literally everyone. Of course I was happy! It seemed to me that this was exactly what I needed to hear, especially since I’m in the business of training.
The cab driver wasn’t so hot on the news. He said “it’s useless”. What he wanted was a handout – extra cash. All the training, he said, was a waste of time.
Woah!
I can tell why HE’s the one driving the cab now!

It’s commonly misunderstood that NLP is hypnosis. A large number of people are “involved” in NLP only to realize that the things they are learning the applications of NLP. The problems in learning NLP in this case is that you’ve been thrown the jigsaw pieces without being given the box to pay attention to the big picture.
