Three communication channels

KINESTHETIC

NLP - Neuro Linguistic Programming

Richard Bandler and John Grinder


How do I do things

1. You are trying to find your way – directions to a place you have been to once before. Run through the process you would typically follow.

2. Sing our national anthem in the tune of “happy birthday to you”. Be aware of how you are doing this.

3. Close your eyes and draw three circles each touching each other (like the one shown below). Be aware of how you are doing this.


Visual

Asks for verbal instructions to be repeated Watches speakers’ facial expressions and body language Likes to take notes to review later Remembers best by writing things down several times or drawing

pictures and diagrams Is a good speller Gets lost with verbal instructions Prefers information to be presented visually Skillful at making graphs, charts, and other visual displays Can understand and follow directions on maps The best way to remember something is to picture it in their head Follows written instructions better than oral ones. Good at solving jigsaw puzzles Looks up when thinking


Auditory

Follows oral directions better than verbal ones Would rather listen to a lecture than read the material in a textbook Understands better when they read aloud Struggles to keep notebooks neat Prefers to listen to the radio rather than read a newspaper Frequently sings, hums or whistles to themselves Can differentiate between sounds, voices easily Requires explanations of diagrams, graphs, or maps Enjoys talking to others Talks to self Uses musical jingles to learn things Would rather listen to music than view a piece of artwork •Likes to tell jokes and stories and makes verbal analogies


Kinesthetic

Reaches out to touch things Collects things Talks fast using hands to communicate what they want to say Constantly fidgeting (e.g. tapping pen, playing with keys in pocket) Good at sports Likes to take things apart, put things together Prefers to stand while working• Enjoys working with hands and making things Likes to chew gum or eat in class Learns through movement and exploring the environment around them May be considered hyperactive Good at finding their way around Comfortable touching others as a show of friendship (e.g. hugging) Prefers to do things rather than watching or reading

just like I is I – Just as you are you - Acceptance


V-A-K Observing Assignment

Tuning into VAK Assignment 1

Pick up any person in your family - preferably your child (if no child, maybe spouse/ sibling).

Now after observing that person's LS; try to change your interactions into his or her channel.

See if this helps resolve issues better.
