Welcome to the NLP MasterClass podcast, episode 10. 

In this episode, we're exploring three powerful themes that emerged from a recent NLP MasterCLASS Practice Group Q&A session. 

First, we'll dive into well-formed outcomes - the four essential conditions that create lasting change. We'll look at how stating goals positively, having the right resources, making outcomes testable through all senses, and ensuring ecological alignment work together to transform our clients' results. 

Next, we'll tackle the increasingly common challenge of imposter syndrome, especially relevant since the shift to online work. You'll hear a personal story from my visit to Michael Neal's house that changed my perspective on launching programs, and we'll explore how to transform self-doubt from a barrier into a catalyst for growth. 

Finally, we'll break down the synergy between three powerful methodologies: NLP, NHR, and DHE. I'll share my unique "Venn diagram" approach to combining these methods for maximum impact in your practice. 

We'll also explore some fascinating case studies, including one where well-formed outcome conditions revealed crucial insights that completely shifted the direction of therapy. So whether you're an NLP practitioner, coach, therapist, or change work professional, this episode will give you practical tools to enhance your practice and create more powerful results for your clients. 

Title:  Looking at things from another’s perspective

By using perceptual positioning you can explore an event from a different perspective, this process enables you to step back from your own mental map and get a distance from any emotions attached to it.  You can also use it to explore another’s map, gaining an insight into their thought processes.  When you use the third position you can review a meeting/situation to gain insight into what happened, looking at it as onlooker.  This is also a great position for becoming your own coach.

If I asked you to imagine a dog, just there in front of you.  What kind of dog do you see?  What colour is it?  Can you see if from the front, back, side?  Is it all one colour?  Does it have any distinguishing marks?  How clearly can you see it?

Some people will see the dog perfectly, it will be clear and they will notice the colour, size and everything about the pouch.  Others will have a very poor image and others will say they can’t see it.  They will say no matter how hard they try they just can’t imagine it; they can’t see it!

In this podcast Tina discusses Visualisation and give exercises to help improve your ability to visualise as well as increase your IQ.
