"NLP is Fun"

How do I get to Carnegie Hall

noreply@blogger.com (Nadia Harper) — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 18:29:00 +0000

There was once a man who asked the great classical Pianist Arthur Rubinstein How do I get to Carnegie Hall it was said that they were a few streets away.

Arthur answered him by saying "Practice, Practice, Practice" !

Some students may also wonder how they will gain excellence in NLP, Hypnosis and controlling their own thinking.

NLP & Hypnosis Practice in Las Vegas

noreply@blogger.com (Nadia Harper) — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 15:35:00 +0000

Here are the pictures from Our Last Event in which the Participants were given a short intro and a 4 page handout.

I then took all the info I explained on the handout and demonstrated with two people from the group how to use these techniques in Hypnosis.

I wanted to show models in Hypnotherapy, Business and most excellent communication: as in conversational Hypnosis or in layman terms Persuasion.

The participants then paired up and found out what their partner would like them to work on influencing in the area of suggestion, and they then crafted a metaphor to slip into the unconscious mind.

Then everyone got stuck in and began to work on their induction skills, they were doing a progressive relaxation focusing on muscle groups with repetition and emphasis on relaxation throughout the body from head to toe.

After all Everyone could do with letting go once in a while.

Even though some of the participants had not done Hypnosis before, they got stuck in and made it happen the result of which was some powerful unconscious programming.

They then reinforced and summarized the suggestions, leaving their partner with revitalized powerful vibrant positive energy.

Then they were asked to create and deliver at least one post hypnotic suggestion, that would continue to powerfully move their process forward, in the days, weeks and months to come.

And then they switched so that everyone had a turn giving and receiving.

Afterwards there was lots to talk about, everyone had experiences to share so we had a Q & A session where they could all ask their questions and share their feelings.

Why don't you join us one of these days?

Our next group will be on March 26th and you can RSVP here

How to Hypnotize Anyone

noreply@blogger.com (Nadia Harper) — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 21:37:00 +0000

Watch as I demonstrate a Progressive relaxation induction in front of a class at an NLP Training and explain what I am doing as I go along.

If you know hypnosis, find a partner to practice with and take it in turns going into trance, have fun with it.
If you don't know hypnosis yet, or you don't feel confident enough yet just begin to pay attention to:

The different things I say
How I use my voice
How I use breath
How I use my Body
How I pay attention to what the subject is doing
How I use Timing
The suggestions I give her
The Feelings I create within her
The Post Hypnotic suggestion I give her
How she responds
What she says about it at the end.

How to Nurture yourself right Now

noreply@blogger.com (Nadia Harper) — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:36:00 +0000

Many of the people who are interested in NLP are people who have had challenges within their own childhood experience.

This pattern will help you to decide the skills you wanted or needed in order to have the best advantage for our life.

After you have run through this exercise for yourself, a few times you may also like to use it with other people, It is awesome for coaching interventions.

Richard Bandler co creator of NLP says adjust and calibrate to suite the person you are working with or yourself. And do everything until you get the change you want.

Remember every single one of us has our own Map of reality.

Thank you to Shlomo Vaknin and The Big Book of NLP Techniques for Including this pattern that we are playing with today.

Remember as you experience any NLP technique it is up to you to make it your own and be creative with how you tweak it just for you, or your clients.

Are you Ready to make some changes ?

Let us begin:

Step 1
a) Close your eyes and go Inside your own mind to think about the best types of attributes that your chosen parents should have to meet your needs and how they will Guide you in the best way possible through life.

b) Consider all your emotional and developmental needs to create a more nurtured you. There may be many elements of parenting that you feel you were missing.
c) Now find / Imagine or create in the forefront of your mind / body a person or persons with the skills that you need to be your parents.

Step 2
Develop your parents to in every way be the best for you, fill in all the details until you are satisfied and you are beginning to get a sense of what will work very well for you.

Step 3
Internally experience your relationship now and notice how they express their nurturing and unconditional parenting skills that help you become the best person you can possibly be to the hilt of your own personal fulfillment.

Step 4
Access your Timeline and float above the top traveling to the very day of your birth, when they were waiting for you to be born.
Experience them waiting to welcome you into the world as your eager, excited and loving parents, engage all of your senses to fill in the quality of their parenting with all the nurturing skills you desire and draw your attention how it feels, as you experience it.

Step 5
Experience your life as you travel through each stage of childhood and to the now. Notice all of the positive differences that having these wonderfully supportive and loving parents have created in your own life conditioning.

You may also notice a few of your previously underdeveloped attributes have now become so much stronger and vibrant giving you a sense of wholeness.

Step 6
Make peace through love and understanding of where you are now, and release the shell of the person you once felt you were.

Keep your parents in your senses and accessible for any other time you may want to refer to them for Support, Love and Guidance.

Feel their loving comfort always in your life.

Step 7
Re orient yourself completely in the now fully integrating a sense of peace and well being from this wonderfully brand new experience.

Close your eyes again to fully associate to the well being of having wonderfully caring, loving and nurturing parents who are always available to give you guidance.

Feel their overwhelming love and support even as you open your eyes.

Conclusion
Have some fun with this exercise it is very easy to do and the rewards are instant and overwhelming, if you really get into it. do it as often as you like I am sure you will enjoy it.

Cartesian Logic

noreply@blogger.com (Nadia Harper) — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 02:52:00 +0000

Cartesian Logic is a very simple line of questioning attributable to Rene Descartes who was a French Philosopher in the 15 and 1600's.

It is a great way to examine questions and answers from every angle especially in a coaching setting.
Of course if you use this pattern for yourself you will enjoy it too.

The end result will determine the next steps to take, a result of logic all points toward the same answer.

The 4 Questions:

1.What would happen if you did

Inverse
2. What would happen if you didn't

Converse
3. What won't happen if you did

Non mirror image reverse
4. What won't happen if you didn't

Ready ?
Lets do a Demo :

Question
I am thinking about going for my masters in art history in 2012.

1.What would happen if you did ?

Answer
I would have a masters in Art History which would make me eligible for Teaching at professor level, thus giving me more choices.

2. What would happen if you didn't ?

Answer
I would not be eligible for some of the programmes I long to be involved in and I won't be able to teach Art History at Stanford University as I had hoped to do in 2014.

3. What won't happen if you did ?

Answer
I won't feel stuck with my life as I do now.

4. What won't happen if you didn't ?

Answer
I will not make as much progress as I want to in my career.

Conclusion
So in this Demo it appears logical to make the decision to go for the Masters.

Your Turn.
Why not take one of your own questions and put it through the cartesian logic paces and find your own logic.

10 steps to a Happier Life

noreply@blogger.com (Nadia Harper) — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 04:07:00 +0000

The great thing about a new year is the energy that comes with it.

At the beginning of January there is always a great Collective sense of resolve to improve and begin new more favourable habits and kick out all the bad stuff.

By this time (30 days in) many have already slipped off and lost belief of making any real changes to their own lives.

Much of the time it is because a person is seeing themselves not really making the kind of progress they hoped for and then they begin to turn on internal mind numbing negative chatter.

Wow no wonder you can't focus on anything else, it is quite hard to hear anything else.
Your positive voices fade away and bow in submission to the dominant ongoing noise.
I like Richard Bandlers Mantra (time for a pattern interrupt) "Shut The F*** Up" and highly effective when you can sing or chant it as you will find out later.

Now remember I didn't say it he did .. don't kill the messenger !

The Great thing about Submodalities is that there is so much you can do to change your experience immediately.

Firstly Understand that your mind is under your own control, your Brain, Your Mind, your responsability for the results it produces.

Just as you practice physical fitness you can develop and train your brain to work wonders for you each and every day.

Let's have some fun are you ready ?
Good I will take that as a yes.

Let's Go !

Step 1
So for today begin by chanting the Richard Bandler (Pattern interrupt) Mantra above to this tune.
It requires real elbow grease to break the pattern of negative internal clutter, so stick with it until it works.

If you don't like RB's words use your own, they should have a certain amount of tough love and shock value to help you snap out of it. In any case chant them in time to this tune below until it just seems to ridiculous for words to beat yourself up inside your own head.

Step 2
Close your eyes and slow your breathing down and remember the last time you were really Happy. Take everything in, where you were, who was with you, what was so wonderful about it and pay attention to all the finer details.

Step 3
Crank up your emotional feel great thermostat and turn up more of the stuff you really enjoyed about it to get a more full on experience. Turn it all the way up until your Toes begin to buzz and Vibrate with raw powerful energy that motivates you from your head to your toes. By now you should be pulsating everywhere.

Step 4
Find the natural direction and rhythm and Spin those feelings until your mind body and soul begin to quiver in anticipation for more Happiness right now.

Step 5
Find what you can do right now in this very moment to create more Happy Feelings inside your life and walk through the scenario in detail immediately in your mind and physiology. Here is one of my favourite mood busting Anchors.

Step 6
Create a Plan to commit to 15 Minutes of uninterrupted Happiness and Happy Thinking and experiences each day.

Step 7
Follow through with a Visualization in full effect of your Happy Moments

Step 8
Remind yourself consistently throughout the day of your brand new Habit.become conscious of how many times you can take 15 minute Happiness Breaks throughout your day.

Step 9
Join your 15 Happiness breaks together. For example expand to two = 30 consecutive minutes or three = 45 minutes and build up to one hour chunks only as soon as you are ready to really commit to experiencing happiness.

Step 10
Begin to get creative about brand new ways you can increase your happiness.
Remember Mind and body connect and share the emotion creates true happiness, even when creating a brand new habit you must experience it in your body too.

Have fun with it.

Robert Dilts - Authentic Leadership

noreply@blogger.com (Nadia Harper) — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 12:13:00 +0000

In the following clip Robert Dilts speaks about the differences between Management and Leadership. He makes distinctions that outline "Authentic Leadership" or Alpha Leadership.

I hope you enjoy watching as he simplifies his ideas on how an effective Leader manages themselves and their own "Inner Game" first.

Remember Internal words create Feelings and these feelings create actions, unconsciously these Actions over time become habitual.

Robert Dilts explains how with NLP we can change these processes.

We speak about self management often, if one is unable to manage ones self one will not be able to consistently show up and manage other people.

I hope you really enjoy the simple way Robert shares his ideas on this subject which are most often overlooked in people and organisations.

Robert also explains the significant energetic drains that will spread through teams, departments and even throughout a whole organisation as a result of overlooking these distinctions.

Specialized NLP Training can help organisations by training Execs and HR departments to understand how to qualify new Leaders and identify these qualities right from the beginning.

A company who invest in great leaders will become far more effective in the long run than companies who retain managers that lack the Self managed and motivated qualities threaded through and through a true leader.
People and companies can become far more resourceful in these challenging economic times as we begin to understand how this works, and plan accordingly.

How to become more patient

noreply@blogger.com (Nadia Harper) — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 05:02:00 +0000

The other day I was watching a client become impatient with a person who was doing something he disliked.

I noted that his lack of patience or tolerance didn't seem to bother him, in fact what was interesting to me was that He was impatient with somebody who wasn't learning fast enough, who was making the same mistake over and over again

He was oblivious to where and how that very same pattern was showing up in his own life and stopping him from making the desired progress.

Has that ever happened to you one way or another ?
I think we can all benefit from a little more patience and Tolerance at times.

Here is a Pattern by Richard Bandler that I modified and offered to him for extending his patience and Tolerance.

NLP is fun when you make things work for yourself, no one pattern will be the same for everyone, make the adjustments that achieve your own desired results.

Step 1
a) Think of a time you were very successful in demonstrating great patience, empathy and tolerance.
b) Begin to notice the feelings, and the direction they spin in naturally
c) Amplify the sensation as you become more aware of the spinning movement

Step 2
Think of a situation you would like to show more patience etc in next time

Step 3
a) Practice by spinning the feelings of Patience, Empathy and Tolerance and any other positive feeling which will help you to gain the desired state.
b) Engage all the senses of the challenge that usually pushes those buttons.
c) Continue to spin the pleasurable feelings despite any feelings of annoyance until they fade away.
d) Amplify the annoyance and play with shapes and sizes to see how it affects the whole mood.
e) Keep going until the feelings are all pleasure.
f) Top it off by Internally noting how good natured you are as a reward

Step 4
Continue to rehearse mental and physical drills often before the event, it will become second nature to your mind to access these states the more familiar they become.

Step 5
Add a Physical movement to the process, an anchor, this will help you to "Flip a switch to the desired behavior" as soon as you become aware of the need.

Step 6
Adjust and add more or less of the bits that seem right for you, make this pattern your own and have fun with it.

NLP - Language Pattern - But Don't

noreply@blogger.com (Nadia Harper) — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 01:33:00 +0000

In NLP and Hypnosis we often use language patterns purposefully that we are already really familiar with and using at unconscious levels to get what we want.

In this case I have put together a few examples of how we can stack language pattern combinations in just one sentence.

Remember words are powerful and evoke responses at an unconscious level by mere suggestion, ask any Hypnotist, Business Person, Mother, Wife, Husband, Teacher, Coach, Trainer, Leader, Manager, Poet, Storyteller , Historian ...... What we all have in common is the power to make progress and influence the end result.

Let us have some more fun with Language, when learning new language patterns Keep it simple, practice and build it up with experiences.

The better you get at them the more combinations you can stack together and use them in Hypnosis intended to make progress with your suggestions for light, conversational, waking and Deep Trance.

Have you ever heard anything like this before ?

We can find multiple language patterns in each of these statements But Don't concern yourself with that, First focus on how many way's you can find to include "But Don't" in your own sentences to influence an outcome in your favor.

Like this:

Q) Would you like a cup of Tea

A) Are you having one ... I will if you are But Don't make one just for me ..

This Pattern will be useful when you use it tomorrow to get what you want but don't take my word for it just remember last time you heard these patterns work seamlessly for yourself.

Examples:

" That nail polish you like is on sale at the department store"

"Really are you going that way, I would love to get some more of that fire engine red color, But don't bother to go out of your way just for me

I know your eyelids are getting heavier but don't close them just yet before you relax a bit more and take another deep breath now just for me ..

The yellow dress looks the best on you but don't wear the one I like please yourself if you prefer the other one.

Having fun with words can be a great way to challenge your mind but don't get too good at it will you

You probably will realize you are using these word combinations already But Don't forget to use great rapport at the same time other wise they may come across as too pushy.

And Also

Have some fun with it But don't Like and share my blog post so you can continue to be head and shoulders above the competition.

K.I.S.S.
Oftentimes people can create complex strategies that prove unpractical and may even miss the forest for the trees, loosing focus of the greater picture.

Can you think of a situation that you have made more complex than necessary ?

Do you want the Good or Bad first ?
Feeling great about ourselves for no particular reason at all is just that simple
Why .... No particular reason ... at all.

Other than it just feels great, and the opposite feels bad doesn't it !
How will you train your mind to work the best for you .. starting right now ?

And What if ...
What happens when you ask yourself "What Stands between me and my happiness" ?

What is Unconscious Competence

noreply@blogger.com (Nadia Harper) — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 21:22:00 +0000

We are all unique individuals and as such have unique ways of learning new things, adapting to change, Improving and making progress.

First Things First
As a preliminary measure before even beginning any new development / Teaching process It is mandatory the Teacher must understand that each subject will require the following:

A willingness to proceed
A Commitment to the process
A flexible and win win approach
A strategy for self management during the process
A strategy to Test the Process = T.O.T.E model
A marker to know when one has succeeded
A reward that is a compelling motivation to the subject

All of these can be threaded into this model, and my recommendation is a strong application of the Meta Model in understanding the beginning stages.

Create a Plan
Using NLP gives a variety of techniques to use in order to be flexible.
This next process is a way of gauging where a person is at the beginning stages of a new process.
The new process can be in any environment where He/She will learn something new.

To understand where each person is at within this matrix will help identify your development approach.
When learning new things or creating a change in any behavior there are the following 4 levels of competence to consider.

1. Unconscious incompetence
The person is blissfully unaware of their level of deficiency in the behavior, model or action.

Example:
Riding a bike and falling off / bumping in to things, as they refuse any help or suggestion and attempt to ride the bike faster.

2. Conscious incompetence
The Person is now aware there are areas in need of improvement, and aware of their gap in understanding how to achieve excellence in this area.

Example:
They are aware there is a technique involve to riding a bike, and have understood the necessity of learning the process, even though they may need more time upfront to learn the new process. They understand the significant gap in their skill set and the advantages of acquiring the skill.

3.Conscious competence
The person is learning the new behavior, action, process in the best way possible for them.

Example:
They are learning the new useful application of the process, and are doing well riding with Training wheels, they have not yet become as confident as they will in their new skill.

4.Unconscious competence
The person has locked on to the information and demonstrated their fluency in application, they can maintain the process without thinking.

Example:
The Process has become second nature to them, they can skillfully ride the Bike without being nervous of falling off, if they fall off they jump back on again. They are confident in their applications of this skill set.

To your success

Change your mood quickly with Positive Anchors

noreply@blogger.com (Nadia Harper) — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 22:01:00 +0000

Since we are sensory beings we should take every opportunity to use what is already available to change moods in ourselves and others.

We can find Anchors that we already have set, and fire them when we like.
Another word for an Anchor is a Conditioned response. Something we react to without really thinking about it.

Anchoring becomes part of our hard wiring locked into our neurology and can be used to create great responses when we like.

If you would like to take it a step further and learn about Chaining Anchors then check out the post.

On the other hand some triggers are not useful and create moods in us that take us to unhappy places, this can happen repeatedly in people and they may not even notice.

Here are some positive Anchors I can think of.

Auditory / Sounds = That Trigger strong Emotion
Bob Marley = Strong positive mood

You Try Any:
love Song
Nursery rhyme
Great Dance song
Song from your Youth
Important Speech
Or more ..

I used to hear Bob Playing more than a little bit when I was a child, so listening to him at any time creates strong positive feelings, and reminds me of what I wanted to achieve as a child.

Olfactory / Smells = That Trigger strong Emotion

Cream Coconut = Happy

You Try Any:
Food
Perfume
House cleaning agent
Rain
And more ..

I cannot smell this without thinking about Happy times when I was a little girl and waiting for the Rice and Peas to cook every Sunday. just smelling it takes me back to those, and many times since.

Kinesthetic / Touch = That Trigger strong Emotion
Angora Wool = Cozy

You Try Any:

Texture of any kind
Cold / Hot
Anything you can feel that quickly triggers an Emotion

I remember the power of Angora against the freezing cold snow to the point where I could even be too warm in this lovely wool.

Gustatory / Taste = That Trigger strong Emotion
Tomato Sandwich = Fulfillment

You Try Any:
Taste that takes you to another mood and place

I remember our Family enjoying Tomato Sandwiches and relaxing together, on picnics and more.

Visual / Seeing = That Trigger strong Emotion
The Beach = A combination of lots of different positive feelings

You Try Any:
Visual that instantly changes your mood.
This Visual pulls deep into other sensory experience
For example:

I can smell it
I can see it
I can imagine how the sand feels
I can taste the Salty water
I can hear the seagulls and waves crashing

Notice
The more the senses are engaged the more powerful the feeling.
You Try and have fun with it.

So you want to learn NLP

noreply@blogger.com (Nadia Harper) — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 14:47:00 +0000

I started this Blog to show people that learning NLP can be fun and easy.
So in NLP speak some of the Presuppositions in this statement then are:

Here are some Presuppositions
NLP is not fun
There are people
People are interested in learning NLP
People can have fun,
Learning NLP is going to be Fun

Perhaps you have already attended one of our NLP Trainings before and learned how to think outside of the
Box while having fun with us. NLP has a unique set of Tools that quickly and easily help us put together strategies to think outside of the box.

Make Sense
To create lasting change in our thinking, feeling, seeing, hearing = which makes perfect sense, doesn't it since we are always calibrating with our senses becomes a realistic Outcome.

Our Main NLP study site in NLP is Fun in Las Vegas where I first founded The number one NLP and Hypnosis Study group in Las Vegas over 4 years ago now.
Our largest area's of focus are Teaching life time tools to busy professional people who come to us at various stages in their NLP development.

Some want to learn NLP and have no knowledge of it, but have heard something interesting about it.
Some have read an NLP book and are curious
Some have taken an NLP Course and want some coaching and direction in how to use NLP
Some have been studying NLP for years and want to find new and creative ways to use NLP in special situations
Some are Trainers of NLP and want to learn how to breakthrough their own barriers
Some want to focus on one learning area or niche to become and expert in one specific area

Although we all want different things usually the common ground is Improvement. Which is:
"I want to Improve my understanding of NLP".

Sound Familiar
As a strategist, I wanted to understand why some people were not more confident in their applications of NLP.

I learned that NLP is often taught in a way that is hard to follow and know what you know.
Some NLP Trainers teach NLP at an unconscious level and provide unconscious installations only and then you go home and don't really know what you know, but you know you know something new and different and your pretty sure your life is improved.

Then somebody asks you what did you learn .. and you don't know.
Sound familiar ?

Some NLP trainers Teach Meticulous rigid and boring NLP theory and lofty ideas about unconscious applications that never quite get off the ground in practice. Then you can speak about NLP at length and sound as if you know what you are talking about to somebody who has less knowledge than you and you cannot and do not apply NLP in every day life.

Take out the guesswork
My Take on it is a combination of Unconscious Installation, Living metaphor and Theory I have found NLP can be learned much easier and more joyfully applied easily using this combination.

A light trance state is usually appealing and can help get past the what if madness of focusing on what they don't know that people may loop while learning new important information.

Just like Nike said __________ Do it !

At this time of year we typically slow things down a bit on our training's and take stock of what we have learned in 2011. We fine tune and prepare our exciting and brand new programmes for 2012 at the moment we have two more training's to deliver in 2011.

What about you what will you reprogramme in 2012 ?

If you like NLP is fun then you will love
If you would like to know more about how we do NLP Like our new page on Facebook and receive our regular updates.

Remember Thinking outside of the box creates more choices, and the person with the largest arsenal of choices Wins, so give it a shot.

Entrancing Tales with the English sisters

noreply@blogger.com (Nadia Harper) — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 15:47:00 +0000

Have you ever tried to learn and new language and found it overwhelming and given up ?

Well welcome to the club, many have began a project and slowly let it slip through their fingers and practiced less and less until they have come to a grinding halt.

The successful Trainers and Leaders know that Learning new things is always State Dependent which means, if you feel great as you are learning, learning becomes easy and fun.

If you feel bad while you are learning, you will become reluctant to continue learning and you will loose confidence in your application ability.

If you want to learn something new the best way to do it is enjoy it, have small fun chunks and begin to reward yourself with successful application and practice.

A learning strategy should become a regular habit as it then becomes quite unconscious behavior and bypasses the critical faculty that stands like a watch dog on all new processes.

Here are two such ladies who have been very creative in their applications of Teaching English to Italian speaking language students.
"The English sisters" Violeta and Jutka Zuggo use hypnotic language and NLP to teach English.

You can find an example of their work by checking out their monthly posting on In Mind Now which is an online Italian NLP Magazine that is written in both Italian and English.

In mind now is Produced by the fabulous Italian Multi talented Publisher and NLP Trainer Oriana Staiano and has a selection of well known contributing NLP Experts from all over the world who write articles each month Including yours truly.

If you are interested in reading their English language book and finding out how they apply these techniques to learning a new language check out their book Don't Learn English smile .

If you want to relax and enjoy more of the English sisters just for fun They even have a Video channel called HypnoRamblings I will tell you they are pretty addictive once you watch one, you will be deliciously hooked on these beautiful and entertaining clever sisters.

They even have a brand new Book out called Entrancing Tales for a change

which is about motivating change in people.

So to summarize, we can use NLP and Hypnosis in as many ways as we choose to live life without limitation.

What creative ways can you think of using for NLP and Hypnosis.

These Intelligent sisters are pioneers and have created their own category that they are dominating, not bad for 2 sisters living in the Italian countryside originally from Croyden, England.

The English sisters are fabulous networkers and Great Businesswomen to model, you can also connect with them by liking them on Facebook and following their updates on Twitter.

What will you Pioneer, what will you create ?
The English sisters have shown us, whatever you do be sure to have some fun with it along the way.

Choose Life without Limitations.

1. "You are going to scream when I tell you what happened"
Here is what you are going to do When This happens.

By the power of suggestion you are embedding this command, people love to know what is going to happen and when used with Tonality and energy this pattern can be used in a variety of ways each and every day.

How to Deal with a Difficult Boss

noreply@blogger.com (Nadia Harper) — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 14:31:00 +0000

Difficult people are everywhere and sooner or later you will stumble on one that can seemingly hold you hostage if you are experiencing a Difficult Manager at work here are some things to consider.

Dissociate from the Problem
The first thing to do is to disengage emotionally, difficult people are usually highly emotional and often lack control in their own emotional management.
In order to gain an objective perspective it is necessary to manage ones own state, especially if you have been attacked or treated unfairly.

Slow down your breathing, slow down your heart rate, the worst thing about being subjected to difficult people and their unreasonable behavior is that it can catch you off guard and take you by surprise.

Maintain a state of certainty about who you are and what you stand for begin to compose yourself and relax in the knowledge of the problem being theirs and not yours resolve any inner conflict.

Take the stuffing out of it
Use Submodalities to make the problem smaller and your original Goal larger. begin to change your state toward a state of neutral calm and objectivity as quickly as you can.

Time wasted on worrying about what to do, drains productivity and prevents you from doing your best work and maintaining your focus to a solution based approach.

Check your perceptual positioning
Imagine yourself flying above the two of you who are in the dispute be honest and objective in learning more about the play.
What really happened ask
What would the energy look like if you could see it ?
could you have done anything better ?
How did the conflict begin ?
Are you willing to be flexible ?
What else can you learn from this experience ?

All you need is .... More Rapport ...
Change your own Feelings and maintain your state
Find a Common ground and Build Rapport, although honestly unless the motivation to stay is super high on your list the effort this takes is not appealing, and this will be an ongoing effort on your part, and not necessarily suitable for long term situations.

Match predicates
Please See above ... this is if you can maintain the motivation to stay and overcome the energy wasted in being able to stay and be productive in this environment.
for most human beings, unless it is a short term proposition , like a sale or negotiation this will not work long term interaction will be a challenge unless you have the necessary support.

Be realistic with yourself
Be reasonable with yourself and be kind with yourself, no body likes to be abused and set up for failure while trying to be successful in any venture.

If you are at work weigh up how much of your own personal energy will be drained from the experience, or can you invest time now in resolving this issue and both agree to practical solutions for ongoing resolution in the future.

In some situations communication will only fan the fire and no amount of Rapport will help.

Pick your Battles
Difficult people can be difficult for a variety of reasons so to summarize ask yourself, Has anyone else that you know of had a challenge with this person.

Is this person notorious for making people quit ?
The normal responses are to fight or flight,

Difficult people cost companies allot of money and create an unusually high turnover rate as employees usually will quit if it doesn't seem worth making a stand.

Find out what your company has in position for those who seek resolution and whether it is worth the battle understand the structure of the company you are working for and what they are prepared to do for your cause.

Take into consideration that the company has chosen that person in spite of their high turn over rate in their department, sometimes the high turnover can be blamed on something else and they can put it down to that, sometimes Senior executives hands are tied as they have their hands full already or they will look the other way.

If this is the case ask yourself, is this the best place for me to work at, is any paycheck worth the daily stress and low performance that will ensue in these conditions.

Decide on the resolution
Do further research objectively
Would anyone else agree that this person is unreasonable and makes unreasonable demands.
How do other people manage their relationships with this person

Review the ways that people manage their interaction with this person and decide if it is something you can do too.
Weigh up the pro's and cons
For what purpose would you continue in your position can you improve your relationship with this person remember you can only change your own responses, you cannot demand change from others.

Is there ultimately anything to gain in your Time and effort investment
What is to be gained if your adjust
What is to be lost if you decide to walk away from the Deal

Consider these Types of Difficult Managers:

The Micro Manager
A Micro manager Fears loosing control and has no trust in your work and will not allow you to work independently, they will sacrifice the importance of their own duties to micro manage yours.

They lack focus and good judgement, and do not understand the importance of delegation, they do not trust themselves and therefore will never trust you.

The more you work independently the more they become suspicious of you and interrupt your projects for an update.
They always look to take credit for your work

The Fool
A Fool will have no clue what they are doing and see you are doing your work competently and become intimidated with your preferred work style.
They will say things like Yes that's right and take credit for your work. They are very scattered they will not know what you are doing or understand your skill set, but pretend they do.

The fool is at a disadvantage and they know it, they will invent stories and rumors to support their emotionally based decisions and they will learn how to say the right things to the right upper level management and will have a dysfunctional relationship with their employees with blurred boundaries that no body can comprehend.

They will expect their employees to mind read their current priority and will have no way of effectively motivating the best work from their staff.
They will be great at one thing and slip through the cracks with the majority of their work and will depend on somebody else to cover for them and they will take the credit.

The Bully
An abusive Boss will be completely erratic emotionally, it is not that you will be surprised when they erupt it will be the combination of highs and lows in their moods that will astonish you.
They lack respect for themselves and others and speak over the top of you when you come to them to seek resolution.
Their strategy is to break people down and conform them to their own bullying system, they lack skill in communication.

They will say whatever they feel, they will shout, scream, and react completely according to their moods in their personal life and with employees and clients.
These emotional abusers will make everyone around them walk on eggshells in order to keep their job., they are unkind and hurtful and are driven by their own fear of failure.

The Slave Driver
The slave driver expects the best from you and wants you to take the job as seriously as they do, they want you to work more hours than you get paid for, commit to the job more than they commit to you and is always threatening you with your Job security.

The slave driver tells you to do something and wants you to drop everything to do it now, no matter what your deadline on any other projects, they want you to do it their way now and only their way. The slave driver leaves no room for communication or discussion when she says jump your response needs to be how high this time.

The slave driver expects you to be loyal to the end to them but does not return any consistent loyalty or kindness back.
This manager sees you as a seat filler only and lives in Desperate fear of their own skill set and worries they will fail to reach the mark themselves.

In Conclusion
In conclusion these decisions can only be made case by case.

If you are an employee, and you find yourself in this situation, my advice is to make a stand for yourself and a positive supportive environment to work in.

If this is not possible, decide what you would like to do about that, and perhaps think of it in relation to how much being there will contribute to your Goals, well formed outcomes and overall well being.

If you are an employer and you see some patterns in your own behavior on this post then get the appropriate help to change the way you are doing things from now on.

If you are an employer who has Managers who are terrorizing your staff consider the long term cost of this to your companies development.

How will you retain fresh new talented employees, remember people who have confidence in themselves and their abilities will not stand for this type of dysfunction.

The people who have stayed for their own reasons will not be at peak performance because they have a loose cannon to contend with which is distracting to productivity.

Please note:
Having a suggestion box is the bare minimum of inter office communication and is not proactive or solution oriented, for people who are being bullied.

If there are political groups within the company, the idea of confidentiality is unbelievable and the effort applied to resolution is tiny compared to the effect of the Tyrant.

If you know you have a Tyrant running Teams in your office, be proactive and accountable yourself.
Resolve the issue before you loose more great people, who are not interested in getting caught up in unnecessary Political red Tape.

to your success

How to stop procrastination Now

noreply@blogger.com (Nadia Harper) — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 03:26:00 +0000

"He was forever taken aback by [New York's] pervasive atmosphere of purposefulness the tight focus of its drivers, the brisk intensity of its pedestrians" (Anne Tyler).

The number one reason that people procrastinate and loose time is that they loose focus and become overwhelmed.

They take their senses and focus off their Goal and move to a larger,more sensory acute picture of something else. Something else can be anything that creates a type of Hypnosis over their attention and becomes bigger than the original Goal.

Park your outcome at the forefront of your mind until you get it

If we were to ask people about their submodalities while they are wanting help with focus we will note that the Goal is further away and in some way obscured from attainment (reach/view/sound) thus depleting the emotion and intensity from it being achievable.

Decide to stay Focused

Getting distracted is rarely logical and quite often emotional, a feeling that is less then desirable seems to somehow wash ones earlier best intentions away.

It is usually not until much later that one realizes they have been distracted and by then they have no idea where to begin again ... and so they don't.

Make it compelling Motivate yourself

And yet strangely from time to time a reminder says "I must" do _____________ pops up and "Must" being a model operator of necessity is hardly compelling and especially compared to "I really want to" ___________

Just Imagine how it will be when you have it

One of the best ways to change this is to create a trance of having the end result, a trance after all is just a suggestion that does not need to ponder what if at every avenue.

A light trance after all can be compared to a vivid day dream, like a mini break, an infusion of happiness a cocktail of delight even a moment of paradise.

Create a Plan and Prioritize

People rarely plan to fail but by not planning and prioritizing their time and commitments often do.

Emotions are helpful in sensory awareness and calibration but also are way more useful when managed, think of emotions like soda bubbles nice if you have a few in your soda but too many and it fizzes over leaving a sticky mess over absolutely everything when you least expect it and nothing sweet or cold to drink.

Check your emotions at the Door

If a person where to respond emotionally more often than not it can be difficult to predict any consistency in purposeful productivity, and yet easy to predict an emotional eruption sooner or later.

Manage yourself and begin to notice if and when your emotions are getting the best of you. commit to taking control of your own state of mind and well being.

NLP has numerous ways to help you with this, just pick one.

Let me know how you get on.

To your success
