On this episode of Parentrepreneurs Club, we dive into the fascinating subject of the brain's filtering process and how it affects our ability to communicate effectively. We explore how Neuro-linguistic programming, or NLP, can help us navigate misunderstandings and varying perspectives. We discuss how NLP allows us to understand our own perceptions and beliefs and helps individuals reprogram their subconscious thoughts for positive changes in business and leadership. We also learn the importance of understanding different communication styles and how external factors can affect behaviour and decision-making. This episode is full of valuable insights and practical tips for improving communication and understanding in personal and professional relationships.
[00:02:06] Understanding how our brain deletes, distorts, and generalises information is crucial in processing 2 million pieces of data at once. Our brain narrows our focus, causing us to sometimes miss important details around us.
[00:03:20] People have different ways of sensing things, and NLP can help us understand this. It can be applied to various situations, like ordering wine at a restaurant.
[00:08:54] Language and perception can cause misunderstandings, as our brains filter and delete information. Recollections of conversations can differ between people due to this phenomenon. It's important to be mindful of our word choices and to acknowledge different perspectives.
[00:12:14] NLP techniques helped resolve work problems for an HR manager who learned them from a director. The subconscious subtext affects behaviour and impacts filter values and beliefs. Using NLP, the manager learned how to articulate his issues and deal with outcomes.
[00:14:57] Children learn to ride bikes with fewer inhibitions and fears than adults due to their inexperience and lack of bad memories. As people grow older, their knowledge and experiences accumulate, and this affects their perception of events, making them more cautious.
[00:18:10] The speaker discusses how people deal with adversity differently and how it can be a surprise when faced with it. She also talks about the misconception that people with similar values and beliefs act the same way in tough situations.
[00:24:02] New line manager has different perceptions than the person she is managing, and used a visual approach to bridge the gap.
[00:26:13] Understanding basic principles shapes behaviour, including values, beliefs, and experiences that shape an individual's decision-making process. Some of this knowledge can be powerful, but it must be tempered in the context of generalization and distortion during processing.
[00:28:02] The podcast thanks listeners, encourages sharing and provides social media links.
