Precision Practitioners | What Distinguishes a True Master

Often people ask me what separates a “Practitioner” from a “Master Practitioner”. Or what separates a “good” practitioner, from a “great” practitioner from an “extraordinary” practitioner.

From a technical standpoint as well as a practical standpoint, there are several criteria that filter these levels, and the piece of paper upon which their certification is printed is usually not one of them.

Assuming You Know THE Answer Can Limit You
At one time or another, either consciously or unconsciously, each of us has explored questions such as: Who am I? What is possible for me? How do I fit in? And gathered information until we had what we perceived to be THE Answer and then lived our lives from that perspective, seldom checking to see if other answers are possible and discounting any information to the contrary.

Choose to Do or Not Do
How often do you hear or say, "I'll try"? And what does this mean? Sometimes the word "try" is used to mean "I really don't want to do what you have asked, and I don't know how to say no to you," or "I don't have sufficient confidence in myself to make a full commitment to getting this done," or "I don't know what I really want in life.

Providing Feedback

Providing and receiving feedback, whether it is asked for or not, is a regular feature of interacting with others. We generously provide our opinions to others in the hope that they will change their thoughts or behaviours in some way. That is, in a way that we believe will be of benefit to them or us. But do they really hear what we are saying? Are we presenting our feedback in a way that the other person is open to receiving or at least considering?

Receiving Feedback
At one time or another, we are on the receiving end of advice or feedback. Sometimes it is because we have invited it to improve how we do something or our overall well-being. Other times, we may receive uninvited or unwanted feedback, simply because the provider feels that we or they can benefit from offering this information. So how can you receive feedback in a healthy and respectful manner?

NLP - Natural Language Processing to become an evem more important influence to SEO

Few people were discussing this topic back then. But Mr. Marshall had agreed to come speak for us on the topic of how search engines like Google were using NLP.

Mars and Venus Part II. "Moving towards" or "Moving away from".

All too often sales people assume that buyers use the same criteria to make a purchase as they would. This can lead to frustration and indeed some serious self doubt on a sales person's behalf.

Tips On Writing - Are You Speaking Your Customer's Language?
One of the funny things about humans is we all expect other people to communicate in the same way that we do. However, what researchers studying a science called Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) have found is that people see and make sense of the world differently. We each have our preferred ways of representing the world in a similar way that we prefer to use either our right or left hand.

Fear is more incapacitating than pain. The paradox is that what we fear most is pain.
Let's say just for the sake of this discussion that there are 2 extremes - Pain and Pleasure. And only 2 life purposes - to have more pleasure and get away from pain. Pain and Pleasure. And the biggest "fear" in life is pain. What if we KNEW that the pain would not be as bad as we fear it will be. Like my experience at the dentist? How freeing would that be? Empowerment!

“Happy Talk and Happy Thoughts” Negative thoughts are BAD for you - Think happy thoughts and use happy talk to attract positivity

Your natural state is health and well-being, and this is promoted and maintained by positive energy, positive thoughts, positive talk and good feelings. Negative energy is simply not good for you. It causes tiredness, irritability, illness and disease. If it's in your system, it needs to be eliminated and to be kept out. I believe the only way to keep it out is to replace it with positive thoughts and words. You cannot “not think of a blue ball”. You have to think of a yellow ball.

How to develop the habit of having more EMPOWERING thoughts rather than Disempowering ones.
Watch your thoughts. Be like a sentry, a watchman noticing every thought you have... "all that we are is a result of what we have thought" Thinking is a habit. How we think is a habit. Habits take time and careful watching to replace. You can’t stop thinking a certain way, you just have to start thinking a new way. So how do we develop healthy thinking habits?

PLAY TO WIN .. or Play Not To Lose?

Whether as a parent, partner, small business owner or sales manager, we all know that there are two ways to initiate an important (perhaps even challenging) conversation or project. We can play to win - or play not to lose. Playing to win requires some strategy and taking into consideration how the other person(s) will be affected and hopefully benefit. It also commands a sense of purpose, responsibility and a fair bit of effort! Playing not to lose takes just about as much out of you, without the potential \\\\\\\'positives\\\\\\\' that come from playing to win. What are the signs that you have slipped into this mode; perhaps trying \\\\\\\'really hard\\\\\\\', feeling tired, disheartened or discouraged, confused, or unclear?
