Hello People!

Happy New Year! We trust that you all enjoyed the holidays and are feeling refreshed and ready for the challenges of a new year. In this issue we take a look at rapport building and NLP uses in business.

NLP in business training – by Karen Hastings
Developed in the 1970’s, NLP has its roots in therapy. Today, it has become more and more widely accepted as a valuable training tool in business. In fact, even if not explicitly stated, many training formats now utilise NLP techniques. NLP is an approach that focuses on communication and behaviour - it is about getting results. NLP teaches us that each person operates on a day to day basis, from their own subjective and unique model of the world. Using this knowledge, you can learn how to better understand the reality of those you work with, enhancing communication, rapport and negotiation.

NLP teaches us that others are not ‘wrong’ but rather acting from the basis of their own reality. If you can understand and apply this in your day to day relationships with colleagues, this is just one of the ways that NLP brings a dramatically different viewpoint and results. After all, if you always do what you’ve always done, you will always get what you’ve always got.

In business, NLP can be also be used to model talents and skills and pass those skills onto other people. This is known as strategy elicitation and installation. NLP model’s of communications can be used to improve customer relationships, increase the effectiveness of sales people, help managers and leaders to become more purposeful and empathic and help anyone in a business be more effective at what they do, solving problems more easily and setting well-formed organisational goals. Basically, NLP is a valuable tool for any person that needs to be able to communicate with someone else.

What do you call two robbers ?...……….A pair of knickers!!! We know this joke bears no relevance to NLP in any way but it’s a good ‘un?!
Patient: "Doctor, my wife thinks I'm crazy because I like sausages."
Psychiatrist: "Nonsense! I like sausages too."
Patient: "Good, you should come and see my collection. I've got hundreds of them."
