Family Communication using NLP Techniques
When : Wednesday 20th February 2013
Time: 8.00pm - 9.30pm
Where: Wow Action Park
Open Forum
We will be looking at how we can apply NLP Techniques to our every day life looking closely at how we communicate with our children partners & family members. By applying these techniques we can enhance communication overall, reduce relationship conflict and handle relationship disagreements.
This will be an interactive workshop; however, no-one is obliged to talk if they don’t want to.
What is NLP?
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) studies the structure of how humans think and experience the world. Subjective experience such as the feeling of love cannot be quantified but it can be modelled. From these models, techniques for quickly and effectively changing thoughts, behaviours and beliefs that limit you have been developed.
We can use these models and techniques to change thoughts, behaviours and beliefs that may be limiting us in some way.
Neuro - The mind and how we think.
Linguistic - How we use language and how it affects us
Programming - How we sequence our actions to achieve our outcome.
