NLP | The Disney Strategy | NLP is Fun

The Disney Strategy was modeled by Robert Dilts and is based on Walt Disney who had an extraordinary strategy for his business process and in bringing his Imaginations Into Animation.

can read more about that here. Of course this is an incredible method to use for business planning and execution.

The Pattern:

Begin with creating Three states which are:

1) The Realist

2) The Critic

3) The Dreamer

Each of which will be represented with spatial anchors, these will be used to install each of these resourceful states in later use.

Mark the three spaces out on the floor and then go through each one as outlined below.

Step 1.

What is it I want to create – The Creative Visual Dreamer / Creative Genius 

Begin to Create the spatial anchor: relive a past memory of a time of heightened creativity from your past.
As you reach the peak of that experience you will Spatially anchor this state and "Step into" the Dreamer" Spot

Next, engage in this powerful feeling using all of your resources and while fully experiencing this Amplified feeling.

Begin by answering the question:

“What is it I want to create” ?

Use your whole imagination and fully engage and brainstorm as many possibilities as you can think of without restraint for this idea.

Think of the overall big picture while fully engaging in all sensory representations.

And

Now Construct your new Imaginations as it relates to the question "What is it I want to create" ?

Engage in all the Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic aspects from a 1^st Perceptual Position (which is fully associated through your own eyes) - This will be your own intimate perspective as a full on sensory experience.

And a 2^nd perceptual position –  Which is an observers additional perspectives which may add more ideas.

Break

State as you step out.

Step 2.

How will I bring these imaginations to Life – The Realist / Organizer

Now remember a time when you excelled in a position of a planner, you were extremely organized more so than ever before the ultimate planner, when at your peak of the experience begin to Step into The Realist Position.

As you fully engage into your Action state with all of your needed resources organize your imaginations into concrete plans, sort through what is actually possible with the resources you have available. Create a time line and a sequential action plan fully engage in the feeling part of this process to bring it to life.

Then Construct your current Visualization by engaging VAK from 1^st position to 2^nd perceptual Position – An outsiders perspective which allows you to gain a second look at the Idea from a completely new unbiased perspective.

Break

State as you step out of Realist position.

Step 3.

Look for any holes in your Plan – The Internal Auditor / The Project Manager 

Step Into a time when your were able to constructively analyze a situation and move the process into fruition. Create your spatial anchor by fully activating the state of being the inspector and finding flaws in a process ahead of time. Employ a solution based approach. When you are at your peak of the experience begin to Step into The Critic Position.

Now it is time to begin to walk through each aspect of your plan and inspect and test for any future inconvenience or inconsistencies. This is the perfect opportunity to ask yourself do I have a plan b or how will I overcome any hurdles along the way.
This helps to understand your true commitment level to the process right upfront.

And

Test your plans until you achieve your outcome with an internal Digital Auditory Inspection. Here you will become the project manager fine tuning the overall project and every detail for improvements every single step of the way

The Visualization experience can be further enhanced to a bigger picture / larger experience by engaging VAK from a 3rd perceptual Position with an overview of each of the 1^st and 2^nd perceptual positions.

Break

State as you step out.

Hint

Use The “Act As if” frame to help you with your Mental Drills and or using a Role model to help you achieve fully associated states d you cannot connect to a previous experience.

VAK = Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic sensory experience or Gestalt of emotion

Use the Tote Model as you:

• Test
• Operate
• Test
• Operate

You can use this for any decision making process or strategy.

Cartesian Logic | NLP is Fun

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.
