Time to Reflect 21st November 2008


Week 8 at work and also week 8 on NLP course at a local Leicester College and also halfway through the second module of the Get Fit for Life Programme at Loughborough College .


On my to do list is

1. Planning a stress management programme to impliment over 2 weeks.
2. Recap on NLP must include recorded examples of completing the Learning Aims of the course which are:
(a) Think in Outcomes (what do I want? When do I know I have it/achieve/goal?)
(b) Have rapport - pace and lead (walk in other's shoes, see their model of the world, have good NVC and mirror)
(c) Reframe a negative and create new choices (change attitude to problems)
(d) Notice experience with senses (all 5 of them) Preference? Visual?
(e) Create a mind/body state and take action (when lacking in resources, ask what you need to get into the right 'state' and use anchors, resources (positive, modelling) and step into this new state.

My outcomes from the NLP course was to :-

1. apply new knowledge to my coaching sessions, my counselling work and my befriending of those affected by cancer. Also improve my self confidence in public speaking situations, like in large class sizes and church readings;
2. develop effective strategies which included positive action and clearer thinking in challenging sitautions; and,
3. looking for new experiences to develop oneself more fully (read more inspirational stories, progress on other courses - Get Fit for Life as an example).
