THE VISION OF

ACTUALIZING EXCELLENCE

 

 

The byline for Neuro-Semantics is Actualizing Excellence.  The leadership
team came up with those two words in January, two words that summarize our
vision and our mission.  And for us it provides a very succinct code that's
full of meaning- and I'm speaking about meaning that generates a lot of
energy, passion, and vitality for us.  To discover that all you have to do
is speak to a Neuro-Semanticist!

 

Actualizing 

Actualizing is a special term for us because it lies at the heart of what we
are seeking to do in Neuro-Semantics- actualize our highest and most
valuable meanings into actual performance in everyday life.  Actualizing
speaks about making real what is only potential, it is making real to the
point of embodying what we know in our minds conceptually so we can close
the knowing-doing gap.  And this comes from the Self-Actualization
Psychology that informs what we are doing and our beliefs about human nature
and human beings.  In Neuro-Semantics we have found many, many ways to
achieve peak performance and translate from mind to body.  That's what we do
because if we don't "apply to self" then it is just information, not
reality.

 

Excellence 

The goal of the actualizing is excellence and this is the very theme that
initiated NLP in the beginning- when Richard and John began modeling the
excellence that they found in three world-class communicators.  And once
they did that, that very process resulted in the Meta-Model of Language
which gave them one of the central tools that allow us to then model more
examples of excellence.

 

Neuro-Semantics started in a similar way with the modeling of resilience
because out of that came the Meta-States Model, a model that took NLP to a
whole new level.  Whereas NLP modeled the basic structures of how we think
and represent, Meta-States tapped into and modeled how our mind inherently
is self-reflexive.  So Meta-States model the self-reflexivity of
consciousness and so mapped out, for the first time, the actual structure of
the "logical levels" and the higher levels of consciousness.

 

Other modeling tools have emerged since then: the Matrix Model, the
Self-Actualization Quadrants.  And so, while modeling has mostly become a
lost theme in the field of NLP, it is still very much alive in
Neuro-Semantics which explains the constant development of new models and
patterns in Neuro-Semantics.

 

And with the Meta-States Model we are now able to model excellence in
complex states such as resilience -long-term and intricate experiences that
do not occur in just a single moment, but occurs over time- things like
leadership, coaching, a solid sense of self, proactivity, responsibility,
and a thousand other of the richest states we humans can experience.

 

Excellence also reflects the theme of "the bright-side of human nature" that
Maslow and Rogers and the others of the first Human Potential Movement
launched in the 1950s through the 1980s out of which NLP itself emerged.
And now in Neuro-Semantics we have launched a second Human Potential
Movement - one for the twenty-first century.  

 

The Vision of Actualizing Excellence

Our vision is to not only use this upgraded version of NLP to enable people
to "run their own brains" and manage their own states (that obviously is
first, self-leadership), but our vision is much bigger.  We want to empower
people to access their finest and highest meaning-making skills so they can
rise up to become everything they can become, to unleash all of their
potentials.  And when they do that, we want to take that to families,
schools, companies, and countries.  We want to facilitate the next level
development of self-actualizing leaders, companies, politicians so that we
change the very structures in our world. 

 

It's a big vision and so we need lots and lots of visionary men and women
who will help us to lead to this future.  And that's what Trainers' Training
(NSTT) is designed to facilitate- to enable those who share this vision to
learn how to stand up and speak up in a way that they can empower others to
actualize their excellence.

 

Neuro-Semantic Trainers' Training (NSTT) first focuses on platform skills-
the competencies that enable you to stand up, engage a group of people and
professionally communicate in such a way that you win their minds and
hearts.  Here we apply the principles and tools that enable you to actualize
your excellence in public speaking.  We then shift to another skill-set,
that of designing trainings so that people are able to experience the
learnings and make them theirs.  And after that, since the Meta-States Model
is the flagship of Neuro-Semantics, we do three days on The Psychology of
APG.  This provides a solid grounding in the psychology that governs these
processes of excellence.

 

We then end NSTT with a focus on business skills- competencies that are
required to be able to turn all of this into a commercially viable business.
This touches on the theme of business excellence.  I say touch on it because
in the past years this has been one of my themes as I've been working with
companies and businesses apply the principles of self-actualization to
self-actualizing leaders and companies.

 

Now if you are one of those individuals who have read or experienced a bit
of Neuro-Semantics and would like to step up into leadership - then consider
Neuro-Semantic Trainers' Training (NSTT).  We are looking for more men and
women who will share the vision with us and collaborate with the movement of
Neuro-Semantics.  If this is you, let us know!
