Is it magic? Some people would say so, in fact my friend @Stacey Sacco asked that very question after a few simple demonstrations of neurolinguistic programming (NLP) conversational hypnosis. It was a lot of fun to watch the look of amazement on his face, and even better the utter astonishment and head shaking that my friend Terrel did. HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!? Terrel very much wanted to know how these coaching tools work must but I told him he must first understand the differences in how people reason, what makes them do the things they do. We talked about a simple approach on reshaping a behavior. All the other coaches out there will likely agree that your best efforts are made when you address the causes and conditions rather than there effects.
People are not their behaviors. Say for example your spouse is frustrated with her job or business and some little thing you say or do sets her off on you. It’s not the end of your marriage but it is a call to action to be more attentive and supportive. In the same way a day trader would not say the market is in a recession because there was a 1% drop in a single day. #NoFailureZone #DrBillABQ
