NLP technique is the result of 40 years of study on the
experiences of people who have made a difference. The study focused on people
who were exceptional performers, who did things others would not think of doing
and because of it not only succeeded in realizing their dreams but also had a
great impact on others.
NLP teaches you general principles by which you can
achieve the things you want in life. These principles when applied consistently
and properly result in a change in perspectives. You become more confident and
less bothered by emotions; you are able to overcome fears; your thoughts are
more directed and focused because you would have shed your negative beliefs and
repetitive thoughts; and you become an excellent communicator.
Basically, NLP is really just about managing and training
your mind, which really is quite an important skill to have in life, especially
when it comes to happiness and success in life.
Neuro-linguistic programming or NLP is one of the most
powerful applied psychology system anyone with keen interest in the
communication and persuasion fields can do to improve his convincing powers.
Knowing exactly how people communicate will enable you to see the real matrix
of communication, whether in person, via phone or any other electronic means
such as email, texting and online chatting.
Pacing
and Leading
Pacing
means that you are demonstrating that you have an appreciation of the other
person’s reality, which you can do by pointing out things that are undeniable
in his current situation.
Leading means grabbing another by the hand and taking him
to wherever you want him to go.
The
general pattern is as follows:
Pace,
Pace, Pace, and Lead. Which later becomes Pace, Pace, Lead, Lead. Eventually it
becomes Pace, Lead, Lead, Lead.
Let
us say you are a guy who wants to get acquainted with that beautiful girl you
see in the mall, how do we apply this principle?
Hi, I know it’s completely random(P), and you probably
might think it’s weird(P), as we don’t know each other and all(P), may I please
know your name(L)?
The
more you get in rapport, the less pacing statements you have to make and you
can get away with more leading.
An
example would be:
Oh so you are just waiting for a friend (P)? Great! Let’s
go sit down over there (L), tell me more about yourself (L), but text your
friend so she knows where you’re at (L).
That is just an example and the same pattern can be
applied whether for business applications, to resolve family conflicts, getting
a better deal on a car etc.
