Are you able to deliver work projects on time?

Hi, my name is Carrie, some of you may have met me at the last NLP practice group.

I am doing a modelling project on 'People who deliver work projects consistently on time' and I am looking for volunteers to help me with a project I am currently working on. I am looking for 3 Exemplars so I can model their behaviours, values, beliefs and identity to build a framework of how you can do this. I will then be able to create a model which will help people acquire the skill of being able to deliver projects consistently and on time.
If you believe you have the skill to deliver work prjoects consistently and on time and have 3 hours of your time to spare, please can you contact me at caroline.finn@yahoo.co.uk"

Many Thanks!

The Applications of NLP

How NLP can be applied in a variety of areas in your life.

Personal Development; NLP will give you a range of tools to help you understand yourself in more depth and to have an increased awareness of others. You will learn to manage your emotions, taking control rather then being a victim of them. You will find out what you want and make well formed outcomes- achieving your goals. Importantly you will understand your values and beliefs and start living a life aligned with them.

Health and Well-being; Our thoughts have an effect on our body and vice versa. Many people find that going swimming, jogging or using the gym after work can help reduce stress. Research is showing that you can help feel your body by thinking positively. Have you ever given a child who has bumped their head a Smartie telling them its a magic tablet that can heal there wound? The child often feels better within seconds. NLP has many tools and techniques to help both physically and mentally.

Relationships; How well do you create rapport with strangers, colleagues and family members? How good is your relationship with friends, family and loved ones? Knowing how to match other's representational systems and mirror body language helps deepen rapport and people are always attracted to others who seem familiar. In personal relationships NLP helps you concentrate on similarities rather then differences. NLP will help you improve the quality of your relationships with others.

Business; Communication is a big part of all businesses. NLP can help you become an effective communicator and teaches you how to improve your confidence in a one to one context, in groups and whilst delivering presentations. NLP helps us step back and look at the world from other peoples "maps" of the world without feeling any attached emotions. NLP Perceptual Positions will equip you to change relationships and the Meta Model is ideal to help you understand any issue; helping you to gain the meaning of what people say through active listening and questioning.


NLP can also help in all other areas of your life; Giving Presentations, Sport and Fitness, Coaching, Therapy, Selling, Negotiation, Leadership, education and training

Personality type test for youths

Hi all,

I currently work helping teenagers into employment and training. I find the personality type test a useful tool to help motivate both young people and adults. I often used Myers-Briggs Type Indicator when I coach adults and recenlty I have been using a new version of the Personality Type test designed for teenagers named "The Buzz" when working with youths

I have added a link below to the Buzz website below for your use, why dont have a go and feedback your comments on this blog

http://www.thebuzzbook.co.uk/

As well as the Personality Type test you can find other interactive techniques to use to help motivate young people

You can also buy the Buzz Book with a more indepth look a personality types and NLP Techniques

I hope you find this useful
