[Neurons] Questions and Answers

Re: Questions and Answers

 

1)   Where to begin in Neuro-Semantics?  

Start with Meta-States --- the Meta-States model is the model of
reflexivity, of self-reflexive consciousness, and of reflexive communication
that launched Neuro-Semantics.  It is the 4th meta-model of NLP 
 and the
first of Neuro-Semantics.  

 

Reading: Start with Secret of Personal Mastery (1997) or Winning the Inner
Game (2007).  Start with “Brain 101” article on the website or any of the
Introduction articles on Meta-States

 

Training: Start with Accessing Personal Genius (APG) --- the introductory
Training offered by Neuro-Semantic NLP Trainers all around the globe.

 

2)   Where and how to use this information in a group setting?

Because Meta-States Model tracks the layering of the levels one upon another
to identify the matrix of frames that a person or group of persons operate
from, it enables us to model group experiences or ‘cultural’ experiences.
This led to the training, “Cultural Modeling using Neuro-Semantics” 
 and is
included in Meta-Coaching to a small degree for Group/ Team Coaching.

 

Reading: Games Business Experts Play.  

 

3)   Can a person  ‘fail’ NLP? 

No!  The premise of NLP is that “There is no failure, just feedback.”
Recently I’ve been hearing more and more about NLP Trainers “failing”
people.  Not giving provisional certification, and helping a person learn
more information or developing more skill, but “failing” them.  This is
ridiculous, violates the spirit of NLP, and should be exposed wherever it
occurs!

 

NLP is about communication and the structure of experience and there is no
way to “fail” it.  I would encourage you to go back to your Trainer and
demand a full refund of your money!  Or, confronting them with the NLP
Presupposition, ask them for the steps to success!

 

4)   Should a person take NLP Prac first or a Neuro-Semantic course?

Do both--- take Meta-NLP!  Meta-NLP presents the basic NLP Practitioner
course (as you can see detailed in User’s Manual for the Brain, Volume I)
and adds a day of Meta-States so as to understand why the NLP processes
work!

 

 

To your highest and best!!

Subject: [Neurons] Question on an entry door for international work

 

Hello

 

Can I ask a question?

 

I did a two-week NLP training earlier this year and came away with the
feeling of something great but was pretty confused as to how I could use NLP
in my work (international development). The course had launched into a set
of practical exercises – swish technique and all that, followed by the New
Code. I saw it as a menu of techniques and kept missing the punch-line. I
“failed” to pass to practitioner status and with the confusion and failure
was ready to jettison the field. BUT J I re-framed and sat down at the
computer to search for more information on the Internet to help me make more
sense of NLP and to find out how on Earth I could use it in international
development scenarios. Lots of interesting stuff and then I stumbled on some
articles by Michael Hall on neuro-semantics – aah – here we go, this was now
starting to make sense.

 

Now, my problem is where is the context, where is the entry door? It is such
an enormous field that it is possible to feel you have to be an
expert/master practitioner to be able to apply NLP/neuro-semantics. Is there
a mechanism to help you find which bit of this field is appropriate for you?

 

It seems to me that the approach to use it all for “change” is:

 

·          Either tips and tricks, NLP exercises

·          Or modelling on someone who does it well

 

But can you help more with where to begin? Do any of your books look at the
entry? In the course I did it was very personalised, it turned out that
there were a lot of therapists on board, but I was working as a
communications officer for the European Commission at the time – therapy was
not an option. (The course had not been described as for therapists which is
why I went, but it was definitely structured for them).

 

If this is the sort of question I am permitted to ask I would love to have
some guidance as to where/how to use this great information in a group
setting, where people from different cultures, different social classes,
rich and poor, have to get together to implement a project. It is a
fantastic market for NLP/n-s because of all the underlying issues but has
there been any work in this sort of area, and have you got any literature
that is directly relevant? How can I wade through all the great literature
and pull out something that helps us to side-step our differences and focus
us all on the project in hand? (Would it help if I listed the steps that we
go through, for example, problem identification, actors involved/effected,
project identification/changes required, consultations (in situ and in
Europe), project formulation, project implementation, communication,
monitoring and evaluation, final behavioural changes effected by the project
– now I’m writing this I am thinking its such a great field for NLP/n-s!)

 

With very many thanks for any thoughts.

 

Best wishes,

 

Alison Eades
