Professional
communicators work in areas you would not immediately mention if you were asked
to name a couple. Social Media experts, motivational speakers, anchor men,
therapists, coaches and journalists would spring to mind. And how about
doctors, nurses, school teachers, employees in the department stores, trainers
in sports, flight attendants, managers, directors and so on. When you think of
it, communication takes part in almost every job you could name. Many
professionals are unconsciously also professional communicators. Whatever it is
they choose to make their careers in, should you ask them what they are really
good at, they would name a lot of skills
and requirements and probably forget to mention that they are good at
communicating. But they are very good at it for it is most likely, their
communication style has brought them to where they are today.
Unless they feel out of zinc with colleagues or relationships with clients and suppliers are proofing to be troublesome; then of course there are communication issues at hand. Professionals who are confident that they possess the required education and qualities to do their jobs, might believe that the encountered troubles lay at the other end. They are probably unaware of the impact of their communication style on others. So called blind spots that everybody else hears or sees, but are reluctant to point out for the sake of friendship or for the sake of avoiding conflict, undermine their relationships. Awarewness of the impact of communication helps convey blind spots.
Fortunately there is NLP communication training that enhances this awareness and offers techniques to develop in communication on a personal level.
If NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) basic training in communication would be part of the curriculum at schools, young students would benefit but they would benefit even more in a later stadium in their professional lives. That is because NLP is based on five presuppositions that any person might keep in mind when they work, learn or play. The five principles that NLP works with form the fundament in all situations where communication matters.
The
map is not the territory. Every human
being makes up their own map of the world and this map influences their
interpretation of words.
·
In
every behaviour lies a positive intention. People
make the best choices they have available at the time, sometimes choices are
not yet conscious.
·
Everybody
has got within what they need to thrive. Some
people are not aware of their qualities or they are but don’t yet know how to
use them.
·
There
is no failure, there is only feedback. People
can learn from mistakes and learn from their surroundings every day.
·
Body
and mind are relative. A happy mind
results in positive actions and vice versa.
Keeping
these basics in the back of your head during communication brings about
motivation, respect and aspiration. Besides
that, NLP techniques enable you to quickly notice patterns in language that
impact a person’s thinking. This information helps you approach the person in
the way that works best at that given moment in time. The techniques are simple
and easy to learn, however they cannot be learned by reading books on NLP. That
is because you need interactive communication and feedback to get the hang of
the techniques. Only then do you experience that they work differently with
different people and there isn’t a set of rules on how to apply the techniques.
NLP Business Practitioner training matters to professionals that aspire to make
the most of their professional lives and of that of others.
