Well, will they listen?
NLP teacher Steve Boyley has a few tips that may make it easier for people to listen to you.
Here they are:
1. Establish Contact Focus on only ONE of three things; an object, person/animal or idea. When the focus changes, continue to focus on only ONE thing at a time.
2. Be Active, use "Yes and... ". Stop thinking and trying to make sense, just give to the moment. Be in the now!
3. Avoid Negation and Questions. Use "Yes and.." Rather than "Yes but..." and if you have to find out information, use the amazing 'Reciprocating Open Question'. Tell them your answer first, as if they asked you the question, then ask them the question.
Wjhen people feel they are heard then they are far more likely to listen to you!
