Effective Communication Through NLP

By Diego Cooper

An important part of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is learning how to effectively communicate. Effective communication isn't just about saying the right words, but it is about how you say them, the body language you use while you say them and making sure that you are being understood. This is vital in business ventures and it is vital in personal relationships. Leaning how to effectively communicate in all areas of your life can make all the difference in how much you achieve.

Beyond communicating with others, NLP also teaches how to communicate with yourself. It helps clear out the self-defeating thoughts, feelings and emotions and replaces them with positive things to help you work toward progress. NLP shows you how to better understand yourself and what happens in your mind to cause the reactions that happen in your body. You learn to open up to the possibilities around you and work toward finding a more opportunities that you can approach that are within your reach.

A major part of effective communicating is realizing that sometimes what you say and what people hear are two completely different things. NLP can teach you how to read people and be aware of their reactions to you - how to recognize if they seem confused or if they seem angered by your words. If they don't seem to understand what you are saying than you need to adjust the way you are speaking to them.

Everyone has a different level of understanding on certain subjects. If you are speaking to someone on a subject of great importance to you but little importance to them, then you are likely going to run in to problems. It is much better to get a feel for how they are receiving your words before you spend hours explaining something only have to explain it again.

One of the greatest tools of learning effective communication through NLP is learning how to detect when someone isn't understanding you as well as you need them to. This allows you to adjust your speaking to fit their capabilities. You can use less technical terms, speak in a more even tone and even adjust your posture and body language to match theirs so they feel you are understanding their needs as well.

That particular skill can help greatly in the business world. People are more likely to trust you and feel loyal to you is you express understanding and concern. - 31857
