1. FEATURE: Different perspectives for improved communication.

 

Ever taken a moment to step back and think about how the position from which
you are perceiving something is influencing your communication in that moment?
Well I invite you now to take a step back and explore a concept with me in NLP
(Neuro Linguistic Programming) called “Perceptual Positions”.

We usually just think that what we are seeing is what there is to see from our
perspective. Yet in actual fact, our perspective can come from one of 5 different
positions. Each mental position is just a different reference point, much like a
different angle of a camera or a different radio station frequency. Each point comes
with its own usefulness and drawbacks.

We unconsciously already use these different mental positions, but by knowing
about them we can choose to use them to gain more understanding of a situation,
and that often leads to new choices or options being created.
The positions are best explained in the context of a conversation that you have had
with another person:

First Position: this is where you are in your shoes, looking out your eyes at the other
person. You are experiencing being with this other person, and what you are feeling,
seeing and hearing. ... CLICK HERE FOR FULL ARTICLE
2. Communication Excellence Seminar

Developing the ability to shift our perspective when communicating is one of the skills
covered in the Communication Excellence course in October. We’ll also be looking at how
to use the higher levels of your mind in creative ways to effectively get what you want to say
across to another, to manage your emotions while speaking, and to develop flexibility to
really hear what someone is telling you.

When you leave this Seminar, you will be able to get into rapport quickly with and figure out
other people in your life so that you communicate with them effectively.

Part 2 – Self Communication - Saturday 11th October 2008

3. The Personal Expression

I traded the R3000! Yayy!! I traded it for something hot, airy, high and bubbly!

So now I have a Hot Air Balloon Safari with champagne breakfast up for trade. All the details
have been blogged on onematchstick.co.za. And I’m still jumping around with excitement-
actually I have been since Claire made her offer last week Wednesday! I’m now curious as to
where the balloon will lead me to!

The trade seems to have overshadowed everything else in my life at the moment. So besides
looking forward to the Communication Excellence training in October, and working on launching
a new coaching programme called Energetic Living next month, and just spending some quality
time with friends, there’s not much more to tell for now!

BIG big smiles,
Telana
