Practical Nlp Podcast

In the last few episodes we’ve been talking about strategies.

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 dialogue of 'I can do this'. Create a mental 'movie' in which you see yourself doing the new behaviour the way you want. Make sure the picture is big, bright and vivid. Add sound so that you see and hear yourself.

Lots of people who thought they were just 'naturally bad spellers' have improved their spelling with the NLP Spelling Strategy. It turns out they weren't naturally bad at all, they were just using a strategy that didn't work very well. Find out the strategy that works in this week's podcast!

This week's podcast looks in detail at our buying strategies. These can be 'chunked down' into four elements - motivation, decision, convincer and reassurance strategies. In particular, we consider some typical problems in decision strategies, and how convincer strategies work.

Motivation can be 'towards' what you want or 'away from' what you don't want - but which is more effective in achieving your goals, and why? Find out in this week's Practical NLP Podcast.

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.

Sound quality not up to its usual standard this week (Hangouts inserted some weird 'underwater' noises) but I hope you'll find some useful tips. Also there's no transcript this week - but the podcast is longer than usual at 29m30s. Featuring: how to stop yourself reacting to 'hurtful' blog comments how to use perceptual positions in crafting your message my top three tips on how to use NLP in blogging and other written communication I mispronounce 'Mehrabian'... and lots more!
