Hand-me-downs

It's not only clothes that are handed down in families; people often unwittingly take on beliefs and believe them to be true automatically.

Individuals "run" sets of beliefs in an internal program that affects the achievement of their goals. These rules are handed down and integrated into belief sets.  There is a big difference between a hand-me-down belief and one that's been adopted from a person's own experience.

For example, "work is hard" is a frequently encountered belief that upon examination is often handed down from generation to generation.  This belief may be holding people back from achieving their goals.

Making sense of beliefs is one of the core tactics adopted during a Eureka Recess NLP based coaching session.  During 1-to-1 sessions a number of individually tailored techniques are used to develop more powerful positive belief sets that can eliminate out of date limiting beliefs and have the potential to bring dreams to life.

Networking can provide us with a great opportunity to find new contacts, clients, catch up with existing contacts, discuss and develop new ideas. But for many of us, networking can be a challenging activity, especially if you are lacking in confidence - You are entering a room, many of whom are strangers and you need to communicate with them within a short time frame. It can feel like you are continually providing mini presentations either about yourself or the company you work for.  Many can find it difficult to introduce themselves, engage in conversations and build rapport quickly.

So how do you make a networking event a success?  Preparation will certainly help.  Firstly we need to ask ourselves; why we are attending? What results would we like to achieve at the event. What does success look like? How are we going to introduce ourselves and what is the key point that we want to get across?  Investing in time to plan for an event will help achieve results and hopefully reduce those ‘nice little chats’. You can make a difference to your success by being focused, well prepared and confident.

Eureka Learning works with clients in building greater self-confidence to enable them to create the business and personal life they want. Contact us now if you would like to discuss how Eureka can help develop your networking techniques. 

Anybody who has responsibility for others, either in an organisation or other situations, often need to change the behaviour of teams and individuals in order to achieve specific results.  Much has been written and taught in countless books, articles and training programmes on the subject, primarily centred on motivation. The required behaviour change, however, is often not achieved or is not sustained over time. 

One of the reasons for this can be explained using a model created by anthropologist Gregory Bateson and further developed by NLP expert Robert Diltz.  The model is known as logical levels.  In this context it could be named the logical levels of change.  Being an hierarchical model it states that change at a lower level in the model does not ripple upwards to higher levels, thus lower levels can be subsequently re-modified by higher levels.

So if we want change in behaviour but are not addressing higher levels in the model like values, beliefs and identity then our efforts may be in vain.

At Eureka we make extensive use of the Logical Levels model in all aspects of our work.  It forms a cornerstone of what we do. We have developed many techniques that operate at the higher levels of the model.

P.S.   If we are looking for some change in ourselves, this is a golden tool to utilise.
