How to become a Powerful Speaker Public speaking is statistically the greatest fear experienced by people, and that is the reason, how to become a Powerful Speaker is the most widely spoken theme in leadership development. NLP offers a simple solution: Exorcise your fears and exercise your power of speech. If you are looking for an answer to how to improve public speaking skills, then continue to read on.  An author prepares for her first book launch. An economics professor walks up to deliver his final lecture. A bureaucrat-turned politician gears up for an all-important election campaign. A promising sales executive stands in front of his CEO to make a presentation… At this very moment, people like you and me are standing in front of an important audience, ready to deliver a performance that might change the course of their lives. They could soar like eagles. Or they could get tongue-tied, shake in their boots and succumb to the butterflies in their stomachs. Public speaking is the Everest of fears. Famous comedian Jerry Seinfeld highlighted this with a famous joke. He pointed out that studies have shown that more people fear public speaking than death. So if you are at a funeral, you would rather be in the casket, stone-cold and dead, than be the person delivering the eulogy! While public speaking is not easy, it can be mastered through simple techniques and the right attitude. The effectiveness of a public speaker is measured by their ability to attract and persuade their audience. How to become a powerful speaker, also depends on various factors – the speaker’s proficiency, preparation, and the poise with which they approach the stage. Some of us manage to create this magical combination. A majority of us, however, will feel vulnerable, fearing ridicule and rejection – a fear that can paralyze and prevent us from presenting our unique voice to the world. But that same vulnerability can become our most effective tool. As well-known researcher Brené Brown says, “Vulnerability is our most accurate measurement of courage.” In other words, we need to ask ourselves if we are ready to be laughed at and still be able to deliver the vital message we wanted to share....

It is “the reality” that you live in, and from which you engage the world of people and things. In simple words, your matrix is the World as you know it from the inside. It is the World that you have received as “real.” Metaphorically, the Human Matrix is a prison for your mind. It is a neural interactive simulation that seems to be all around you. Just like a dream world that you live in, it is the world that has been pulled down over your eyes to hide you from the truth. And in NLP terms, it is the inside of the map, not the territory. How does a person’s matrix emerge or come into existence? Your matrix emerges from the ones you inherited and from the ones you invented. Here’s how you inherited your matrix: The Matrix is the world of meanings into which you were born and educated. Each and every person is...

NLP Anchoring The visual, auditory, and kinesthetic stimuli constantly get associated with various states of mind-emotion-physiology inside people’s neurology. And these stimuli, also known as anchors, create the responses for thinking, emoting, etc. NLP Anchoring technique, thus, is a means of managing neurology. It can occur in any sensory system and also in the language system. In NLP, the NLP anchoring pattern enables people to handle the internal, subjective experiences like their memories, their emotional states, etc. Accordingly, you can anchor resourceful states to fire (start them off) them off and re-experience them when you want. By using just an element of an experience, the anchoring will bring back the full experience as and when you fire the triggering stimulus or anchor.   Scope of NLP anchoring technique Overall, the general purpose of NLP anchoring involves managing an experience so that you can access it at your will. Anchoring as conditioning presents the NLP practitioners and NLP master practitioners with a practical tool for change. Approximately 90% of therapeutic interventions or personal change work done using NLP involve changing the kinesthetic responses that people have to auditory and visual stimuli. And that involves a direct or indirect application of the anchoring process. The pattern of the NLP anchoring technique is used extensively to utilize the best states of a person and help them create a process to deal with the unresourceful states more effectively. When people recognize the neurological mechanism of anchoring, they are empowered to set up useful anchors and change their internal experiences in such a manner that it serves them as an internal resource.   About anchoring An anchor refers to an internal or external representation that triggers another representation. And NLP anchoring technique typically re-induces states without the need to think or re-think things. When you systematically and precisely establish a new anchor, you can elicit desired behavioral responses and states immediately in response to the new stimulus. Anchoring entails the ability to establish a trigger or link to a state, consciously, so that you can replicate the link and call forth the desired state at your will. For example, NLP Practitioners and hypnotherapists often use the word “relax” to anchor in a state of...

How can we change our beliefs? The human brain has been of immense intrigue to neuroscientists since the beginning of time. Endless research has gone into understanding the unique ways in which it functions and its myriad capabilities. Even today, the study of the human brain is an ever-evolving subject, including how to work with beliefs that hold humans back, and how can we change our beliefs as humans. This post is about NLP belief change process, and how it can be one of the powerful  NLP techinques to learn and master. Even though new information about the human brain comes to light every so often and even though it is a rapidly changing science, one thing that can be established without a shadow of a doubt is that the human mind is limitless in its potential. Every advancement or miracle that we see around us today, is a product of the human brain. The world as we know it today has been conceived in the human mind. There is absolutely no guessing of how much further it can go. The subject has made accelerated advancement in the last decade, wherein scientists have studied the human brain and formulated ways in which people can perform better by tapping into sections of their brain that weren’t previously thought of. Miracles can now be brought about by training the brain to function in the desired manner. People can now bring about a change in their undesirable behaviors and their limiting belief systems by altering the way they think and feel. These fuels an active pursuit of goals, ideal personalities, and powerful beliefs. If you are looking for how can we change our beliefs, then there is good news. No one is born with limiting beliefs. Humans develop them over a period of time by repeating a series of thought and feeling patterns. These thoughts and feelings are based on their perceptions of their surroundings, life experiences, and the meaning that they attribute to them. Therefore, it is only logical to acknowledge that a conscious change in these thoughts, feelings and their repetitions will bring about the desired change in behaviors and habits. The human potential movement originated approximately 70 years back,...
