Are you switched on for business?


Business people come into situations daily where their performance in whatever situation they are in determines the outcome for the parties involved in that situation.

When I mention 'performance' I'm referring to the persons ability to influence the situation to move a person towards a shared win/win solution. That influencing contains two elements. Firstly, what is being said and secondly, the way the person acts whilst they are saying what they are saying.


Think about it. What words would you use to describe how you feel in challenging business situations. Things like handling a big meeting, disciplining staff, making sales calls, meeting targets can for some be described by language using words such as 'nervous,' apprehensive', 'uncomfortable' and many others and when you think about those situations and the words you use to describe them you'll begin to notice that a 'feeling' occurs in your body.

How different would it be if you could substitute counter productive feelings with productive ones and having done that you would perform differently and quite possible, then get a bigger result! How different would it be if you went into challenging contexts with 'preferred' feelings like confidence, calm and control. What would happen then?

Get yourself switched on by using techniques within the NLP toolbox can and do fast track how you behave and communicate. Once you do that - who knows what can be achieved!
