In the last posting, “Preferred Learning and Communication Styles – Part 1” I did a recap of how your internal filters work after having received data from the five senses.

Before you actually do the Survey yourself, it is wise to start getting familiar with the different attributes of each of the Representational or Learning and Communication Styles.

The following are generic characteristics of a Visual person.

Here is the 6.58 minute AUDIO if it fits better in your lifestyel

In the previous posting of this series “Why build Rapport”, we looked at the second part of “Eye-Movement Patterns”.

This posting will deal with the topic referred to in NLP as Preferred Representational Systems or Styles.

Simply put, which of the three main senses, visual, auditory or kinesthetic, do you prefer to use when you are learning and communicating?

Let me say at the outset, that you may be using any of the three at particular times, but there is one that you have a preference for.

You may prefer to listen to the 4.53 minute AUDIO.

How did you go with the Eye Movement Patterns of the previous posting?

Do they seem more familiar now?

Within the next couple of postings, I’ll give you a list of some words and word phrases that are common in daily use in all four styles.

So, continuing on.

The topics we have discussed so far in rapport building are:

1. Why build Rapport?
2. Sensory Acuity
3. Tonality Patterns

This posting will look at eye movement patterns, also called eye pattern movements, and will be divided into two Parts.

This is a very practical and immediate way of finding out whether the person you are communicating with is visual, auditory or kinesthetic in their preferred learning and communication style.

Tonality in your conversation is actually worth 38% of the content of your message, and has a significant influence on the meaning of your communication and the reactions you will get.

It markedly affects how others will respond to your words and to your message.

What you desire, is that the response will be the one you want, isn’t it?

But there is no guarantee of that because people hear what they hear based on their past experiences. 

They are selective of what they want to hear.

The last posting dealt with the general concept of “Why build Rapport?”

With this posting we will start on the various tools that go into building rapport.

The first one is to have sensory acuity.

What does that mean?

If you prefer, listen to the 4.48 minute AUDIO.  I’ve actually added some to the audio as sensory acuity is such a fun topic

Recently I went to a very stimulating seminar called Blockage Buster, presented by Paul Blackburn of Beyond Success.

One of the things he talked about was how information is transferred from the conscious to the subconscious mind.

Most of what we know about life is about looking backwards rather than looking forwards.

What does that mean?

Listen to the 4.29 minute AUDIO if you prefer.

This is the final posting of an introduction to the internal filters, with the Meta Programs.

The Meta Programs are so important that every recruitment agency and anyone who is hiring staff, paid or volunteer, should do an analysis of the Meta Programs of the prospective candidate.

I just love them I find them so revealing and consequently empowering.

Please enjoy the 5.34 minutes AUDIO if you prefer.

As teaching other languages is one of my specialties and one of my favorite occupations the area of language in NLP is also one of my favourites.

The language you use, whether it’s the small-talk that you indulge in within your mind, or whether it’s the language you use when you converse with others, will determine what success you have in your communications and in your life generally.

The spectrum of language within the field of NLP is enormous.

Make use of this link, if you wish to listen to the 4.54 minute AUDIO.
