Welcome to my new blog, thoughts on influence, persuasion, selling, leadership, motivation and all things NLP for business. I want to share my experiences of using Neuro-linguistic Programming for business development. I want to try and give real examples of how I have helped companies and individuals improve, change and develop their performance in the context of work. I have been a Master Business Practitioner of NLP for 10 years now and have worked with literally thousands of people, using NLP techniques to train or coach them to success.
One of the keys to success is to have behavioural flexibility. We have all heard the definition of insanity - doing the same things in the same way and expecting a different outcome... or do what you have always done and you will get what you always got...
Well that used to be a truism. However in this economic climate it is unlikely that doing what you have always done would get you what you got before, it is probably nowhere near enough. Now we have to be even more flexible and perhaps do things that we previously wouldn't have contemplated.
One thing is for certain, in times like these giving the most important resource you have, your people, more resources is essential. There is a lot of evidence now that investing in the training and development of your people to nurture their talent could be the only way to get your business though this economic downturn.
I have a PDF document of research carried out by Cranfield Management School and Business Link that contains irrefutable evidence that nurturing talent through training staff is the only way to guarantee survival in times like these.
If anyone would like a copy of this research please send me an email with your details and I will be happy to send it to you.
