I successfully completed a 30-Day Challenge! 30 days, 5 articles, 2 very specific metrics to measure success. Is there anything that compares with the satisfaction and pride of achieving one’s treasured goal, improving one’s competency and leaping to the next level of performance? Accelerated learning coaches utilizing   accelerated learning techniques to raise the learning speed of children/adults to a different level are in great demand these days, why? Read below. The Dream I read a thought-provoking article recently that challenged me to define what I really wanted my dream life to be, and then to immediately start taking steps to make it a reality now. I immediately took out a sheet of paper and drew and wrote all the wonderful things I want for my life. Out of the amazing dreams I have for my relationships, profession, and personal growth, I decided to focus on one skill that I wanted to develop in the short-term. Developing my writing skills almost popped out of the page. A Quick, Easy and Fun Journey But, the enthusiasm and excitement I felt at the time of drawing my visions for my life, turned a little into fear. I had made resolutions like this before, but I always got lazy. Just the thought of how much effort I assumed it would take made me tired. I needed a smarter way of achieving my goal. Just the other day I read an article wherein a woman trained for a 26.2 mile-long marathon using the power of mysteries. A confirmed bookworm, she would listen to audiobooks of spicy whodunits when running. Every time she couldn’t stand not knowing what happened next in the story, she would put on her sneakers and chase the story across the streets. She had so much fun training for the marathon, she actually crushed her expected time by half an hour, racing to glory and victory. I knew there has to be a better, faster, easier (and more fun) way of reaching my goal. That’s when I turned to Accelerated Learning techniques using NLP.  Accelerated Learning techniques are firmly rooted in the concepts of Neuro-Linguistic Programming. After all, NLP is defined as the ‘study of excellence’. Start with the End Start...

According to a study, popularized by Malcolm Gladwell in his internationally acclaimed bestseller ‘Outliers: The Story of Success’, it takes roughly 10,000 hours of dedicated practice for a person to attain mastery in any skill. That means if you were to spend 8 hours a day, 5 days a week consistently practicing one skill, you could potentially become the best at it in a span of 5 years. The question really is, “ What do I want to achieve?” We all have a list of skills that we wish to have – speaking French, writing articles, giving a presentation effortlessly… . Do we really want to be ‘experts’ in them? Are you thinking, ‘How to learn a new skill quickly?’  In my case, I just want to be able to deliver an effective talk, motivating the audience to take massive positive action in their lives. It’s not like I want to compete in an International Best Speakers’ Symposium.’ John Kauffman, in his book ‘The First 20 Hours’ (also a #1 bestseller), states that a person needs only 20 hours of dedicated practice to reach a comfortable level of competence. So if I focused on how best to speak about achieving personal development with NLP for just 1 hour a day, 5 days a week, I could walk in after just 4 weeks and have transformational impact. And I can make this even easier for I have another trick up my sleeve: Accelerated Learning strategies using NLP. In this first post about Accelerated Learning, I’m going to focus on what is popularly known as ‘Photo Reading’, first explored by Paul Scheele. Imagine you have to give an important speech or presentation, and you have in front of you 3 books on the subject and you haven’t even cracked open their spines. How would you like it if you could flip through the books in just a matter of hours, and by the end absorb the content whole? So much so, that as you step up and deliver your talk, you are able to easily and efficiently remember and convey the true crux of the subject. Did You Know? The average reader can read around 200 words per minute (wpm) with...

There is a new buzz word doing the rounds in the Entrepreneur and Startup World – ‘Growth Hacking’. You may be curious to know, ‘What is Growth Hacking?’, ‘How is Growth Hacking relevant to Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) trainers or Life Coaches? or if you are aware about Sales and Marketing Buzz words, then ‘How is Growth Hacking for Life Coaches important?’ Growth hacking has nothing to do with stealing credit card details or important information.  ‘Growth Hacking’ or ‘Marketing Version: Non-traditional’ is a terminology which is used to define innovative non-traditional ways to quickly expand a start-up using non-traditional marketing methodology. As NLP Trainers focus largely on skill development, and not business development, where will Coaching clients come from? This aspect always gets neglected, or is not thought through while deciding to become a Life Coach or NLP Trainer. Sales and Marketing are key for any business. A coach has to think like an Entrepreneur, where it is important to be well versed in marketing concepts – What goes into setting up a business pipeline? How should branding be taken care of? The traditional route largely used by companies for marketing and sales takes time to show results, and is expensive. Start-ups don’t have that kind of luxury, as they are under pressure to grow quickly, as it is all about becoming profitable as fast as possible with less cost. Hence, an NLP Trainer or a Life Coach starting a business has to think like a start-up Entrepreneur. One can either take the traditional method to develop organically, or employ the services of a Growth Hacker to quickly scale up with non-traditional methods. The Growth Hacker consultant will apply a combination of non-traditional Marketing, Sales, Digital Marketing, Branding, etc., as the main agenda, to quickly deliver results. The hard fact is that survival as a Life Coach depends on acquiring new skills, hence a Life Coach or Trainer can also spend time educating himself/herself about Growth Hacking, Social Media marketing, and Sales. An alternate approach is a dual approach, where the Coach takes up the responsibility to do part of the work and employs a Growth Hacker to take up responsibility of another aspect.  This enables the Coach...
