Suggestions for general practice

Seek out unscripted TV and radio interviews, listen out for one Meta Model pattern. The first step is to be able to recognise the patterns, the second step is to be able to track them in a real time conversation, the third step is to be able to use them. With an interview you don’t have to pay attention to the content or interact with the person and with a TV interview, you can correlate language with gestures.

You’ll also find some useful links here: https://www.geniusnlp.com/index.php/about-nlp/40-interesting-resources

In particular, the Audio section includes the audio recordings that I use during NLP Master Practitioner training, from ‘Listening’ through to ‘Snowflakes’.

You can also use the practice statements on the next few pages, these are actual statements taken from emails, social media and clients. You might begin by picking out the Meta Model patterns that you recognise before decoding any other meanings hidden within the statement.

Client statements

I haven’t always been the smartest or skilled. But I’ve been the most determined.

How to over come self limiting belives and build confident with in our self.. I feel like I can’t do any thing feel like don’t have any creativity and maturity.

A good day is when I am able to speak my authentic truth fully.

My life is full of emotional dramas and negativity. feel so misunderstood...... people appear not to hear me or my opinions.

I'm not the person I’m being portrayed as.

I don’t know which way to turn, every time I think I know what to do something comes up that gets in the way.

Will I be successful and happy when I move up to Scotland?

If I want to make people feel confident then I need to feel confident first. How do I make myself look more confident?

I’m not good enough.

No one is going to progress me, I need to do it for myself. I don’t want to keep holding myself back.

What is the best way to influence people with negative mind set?

I believe the course will enable me to be more directional with my language. I believe I am competent when I work with individual in regards to where I am on the development curve and believe the next stage is to be able to ‘track the change’ better and glide the client towards change without going down as many deadends!

To value my experience and knowledge in such a way that I am confident to push beyond my current limited activity.

Overcoming learnt patterns (from family, school) that limit people in taking action e.g. avoiding risks, fear of what others think, ingrained beliefs e.g. ‘I’m not good enough’

I love you but I don’t like you.

I discovered NLP 6 years ago through word of mouth, at 1st thought this was some sort of ‘cult’/’woo-woo’ stuff that wouldn’t work.

In our last session you encouraged me to focus on my vision. That was quite a homework assignment and I finally feel I have made some good progress on that.

My diary is a little crazy over the next couple of weeks.

From social media, emails and websites

Or, if you have a moment, I could call in any time and show you myself.

Hi everyone... How are you? I have a question. How do you get rid of self-doubt?

Our values should guide our decisions and our actions in all what we do and for all of our stakeholders, both internal and external.

Strive to deliver wow experiences everyday.

Deliver amazing amounts of important work.

Break down barriers, embrace change and are focused on the future.

Cliff’s focus is -- as it has always been -- very much focused on helping people build their teams.

We think big, set the bar high and never lack ambition.

I hope you have a good meeting.

It happens all too often among solo-preneurs. You build a great business, only to see it crumble under the stress as it grows.

Whatever the reason, one thing is clear: Business as you know it is simply not sustainable. Something has to change.

Lack of professional growth is the biggest reason your employees may be looking to leave.

Stepping stones are the process to progress.

I am always available to help anyone that might need a second opinion.
