The ‘four minute rule’

Making your mind-up…

FIRST IMPRESSIONS – less than 30 secs

EMOTIONAL ENGAGEMENT – 30 – 60 secs

LASTING FIRST IMPRESSIONS within 4 minutes

“MODIFIERS”

PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE

CURRENT EXPECTATIONS

CURRENT EMOTIONAL STATE

ENVIRONMENTAL ANCHORS & CUES

“You never get a second chance to make a first impression”

Ability to reflect upon WHOLE experience

Most People Think They Are Thinking

When They Are

Simply Rearranging Their Prejudices

Most People listen with the desire to reply

rather thanthe intention to understand

This Course

3 UNITS

Introduction and Background to Neuro Linguistic Programming

Interpersonal Communications and Core Patterns in NLP

States, Altered States and Mindfulness in NLP

Reflective Journals

Learning isn’t just about learning stuff, or learning

how to do stuff; it’s also about learning about

how you learn, and how you can help yourself

learn better.

Reflective journals are used to help you look

back at what you have learned, how you can

apply that knowledge and how you personally

feel about the process.

Session 1

What is NLP and how does it relate to behaviour? (1.1. 2.1)

Who were it’s developers? (2.1 )

What are it’s core ideas (3.1, 3.2, 3.3)

1.1 Give examples of how NLP relates to behaviour.

2.1. Summarise the key ideas of Bandler, Grinder, Erickson, Satir and

Perls in NLP development

Key People

RICHARD BANDLER

JOHN GRINDER

FRITZ PERLS

VIRGINIA SATIR

MILTON ERICKSON

Their Background

Psychology, Philosophy, Mathematics

Linguist – Transformational Grammar

Psychotherapist – Gestalt

Family Therapist

Hypnotherapist

Key Approaches

Epistemology

Transformational Grammar

General Semantics

Constructivism

Key Ideas

What we know, how we know what

we know

The internal structure and meaning

of language

Reflecting on experiences generates

understanding of how the world

works

3.1 Describe the core ideas of NLP.

NEURO = pathways in the brain

LINGUISTIC = how we express experience

PROGRAMMING = repeatable patterns of behaviour

NLP is a generative rather than a repair model

It emphasises solutions rather than causes

NLP is a way of creating models

3.2 List the ‘pillars of NLP’ and relate them to personal and

business lives.

The Three Legs of NLP

Outcomes

Sensory acuity

Behavioural flexibility

The Six Pillars of NLPThese six pillars are considered to be the foundations upon which NLP is

based; the key steps towards personal success..

YOU - your emotional state and your skill level

The PRESUPPOSITIONS - The Principles of NLP

RAPPORT - The quality of relationship

OUTCOME - Knowing what you want

FEEDBACK - How you know you’re getting what you want

FLEXIBILITY - If what you are doing ain’t working do something else

The NLP Approach

NLP Practitioners take an approach which defines five key attitudes

each designed to promote active change in behaviour and

behavioural approaches to challenges.

If you want to understand ACT

Act AS IF something were true to see what new choices it brings

Define OUTCOMES and move towards them

Define and increase CHOICES

Every change or defined outcome must be ECOLOGICAL – benefiting

the ‘whole’

3.3 List the key presuppositions in NLP and give real world

examples of each.

1. The ability to change the process by which we

experience reality is more often valuable than

changing the content of our experience of reality.

2. The meaning of the communication is the

response you get.

3. All distinctions human beings are able to make

concerning our environment and our behaviour can

be usefully represented through the visual, auditory,

kinaesthetic, olfactory, and gustatory senses.

4. The resources an individual needs in order to

effect a change are already within them.

5. The map is not the territory.

6. The positive worth of the individual is held constant,

while the value and appropriateness of internal and/or

external behaviour is questioned.

7. There is a positive intention motivating every

behaviour, and a context in which every behaviour has

value.

8. Feedback vs. Failure - All results and behaviours are

achievements, whether they are desired outcomes for a

given task/context, or not.

9. Communication is more than what you're saying.

10. Choice is better than no choice - Always add

choices - never take them away

11. If you aren't getting the response you want, try

something different.

12.People work perfectly. They’re doing the best they

can with the resources available to them.

14. Conscious mind capacity is very limited -

supposedly to about 5-9 chunks of information.

15. If one human can do something then, potentially,

anyone can.

16. People have all the resources they need even if they

do not currently have access to these resources

17. Mind and body are part of the one system: external

behaviour is the result of internal behaviour

18. You are in charge of your mind and therefore your

results.

19. The system (person) with the most flexibility of

behaviour will have the most influence upon the system

20. All the resources we need are inherent in our own

physiology

Session 2

How do we know about brain function? (4.1, 4.2)

How do we create maps of reality? (4.3, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3)

How do we record perceptual processes? (6.1, 6.2, 6.3)

The stuff of which you are made has

been in development for

13.8 Billion Years …

Humans of one kind or another have

been around for

6 Million years …

Modern Humans for around

200,000 years …

You are composed of around

30 trillion cells

And are home to 40 trillion

bacteria, most of which live in

his digestive tract.

there are at least

800 billion more cells in your body

than there are galaxies in the

known universe.

4.1 Identify the human ‘senses’ and link them to neurological functions.

The world OUTSIDE of YOU

Is modelled by the BRAIN to create a version of

the outside – INSIDE

It is your senses which interact with the external

world as well as your personal internal one

“TRADITIONAL SENSES”

HEARING : SEEING : TASTING : SMELLING

TOUCHING

Audioception

Ophthalmoception

Gustaoception

Olfacoception

Tactioception

So that’s

10 erring on the Conservative

21 generally Accepted

33 if we include Radical ‘newer ideas’

And we still have

CHRONOPERCEPTION (perceptual)

THERMOPERCEPTION (perceptual)

MAGNETOPERCEPTION (controversial)

ELECTRPERCEPTION (controversial – limited)

A broadly acceptable definition of a sense

would be……

"A system that consists of a group of sensory

cell types that responds to a specific

physical phenomenon, and that corresponds

to a particular group of regions within the

brain where the signals are received and

interpreted.“

The Brain - Structure

• 2 Hemispheres

• 2-2.5% Body Weight

• Use 25% Bodies Energy

• Generates 10w electricity

• Bi-Lateral Symmetry

Hearing, Seeing, and Speaking Words

4.2 Explain the difference between the following methods for

exploring brain function:

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MR1).

Computerised Tomography (CT).

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (FMRI).

The Brain

Accidents

Phineas Gage Story

• Personality changed

after the accident.

What this this tell us?

• That different part of

the brain control

different aspects of

who we are.

Electroencephalogram

• EEG

• Detects brain

waves through their

electrical output.

• Used frequently in

sleep research.

Computerized Axial Tomography

• CAT Scan

• 3D X-Ray of the brain.

• Good for tumor locating, but tells us nothing about function.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

• MRI

• More detailed pictureof brain using magnetic field to knock electrons off axis.

• Takes many still pictures and turns images into a movie like production.

• Does not study function!

Positron Emission Tomography

• PET Scan

• Measures how much of a chemical the brain is using (usually glucose consumption).

• Good for studying function.

4.3 Identify the limits of human sensory Perception

Hearing (Htz)

Seeing

Smell

5.1 Analyse in detail what is meant by the phrase ‘the

map is not the territory’ in terms of human perception.

AUDITORY PERCEPTION

© www.aljones.net

The human brain is hardwired to hear its own language in otherwise meaningless noise. If it wasn't, you'd never be able to recognize your own name when someone calls out to you in a noisy room full of people.

But what if you are expecting someone to say something – or BELIEVE that’s what they should be saying..

What we HEAR vs WHAT we PERCEIVE

HEAR… PERCEIVE

Perception

• The way in which the mind pieces together the information it receives from the senses

• It is ACTIVE in the sense that it bases the way it structures the information upon patterns it has had prior experience of

© www.aljones.net

PERCEPTION IS AN ACTIVE PROCESS

It takes 1/10th of a second for your brain to process and make sense of

what the senses sense.

You are always 1/10th of a second behind ‘reality’ but your mind compensates by accurately ‘guessing’ what will be there when you get there!

Synaesthesia

5.2 Describe the processes of Deletion, Generalisation and

Distortion, and explain how these create personal realities.

Surface & Deep Structure

WHAT IS SAID…

THE TOTAL EXPERIENCE…

I’m feeling happy

HappinessEVENT SPECIFICSASSOCIATIONS

MEMORIES

Three key processes

• Delete

• Generalisation

• Distortion

In processing experience we will delete some of the sensory experience from the original event…

In processing experience we will make certain generalisations about the original event and how it relates to previous experiences…

In processing experience we will distort the nature of the original event because we have deleted some information and made generalisations about other aspects of it…

DELETIONS

An incomplete version of reality…

GENERALISATIONS

Jumping to conclusions….

DISTORTIONS

Create personal realities…

5.3 Define the term Radical Constructivism

How the ‘card trick’ worked…

“….there is a link (still to be fully understood) between eye movements and brain function.

As the functions of visual or auditory recall, imagination and emotion are accessed, the eyes move to locations which are fixed for each individual….”

6.2 Summarise what is meant by the term ‘representational

system’.

6.3 Identify ‘modalities’ and ‘sub-modalities’ from own

experiences.

6.1 Describe the 4Tuple Notation System.
