#38 Rapport series 02: Rhythms of Rapport, part 1 – Verbal Rapport
(7 votes)
We are continuing a thread that we have started a long, long time ago on Rapport, reconsidering some of the aspects of rapport in a way that is not traditionally taught in NLP – by turning it from a nominalization into a process – a rhythm. Today we start by (re)defining the structure and dynamics of verbal rapport:
#32 Language Series 04: Meta-Model – Deletions
(3 votes)
This is the third and last podcast on the Meta-Model in this language series, to be followed by Sleight of Mouth patterns, and the Milton Model patterns, each a small series in itself.
#31 Language Series 03: Meta-Model – Distortions
(no votes)
This is the second in the series of talks on the Meta-Model, where we cover five patterns of distortions:
- Nominalizations
- Modal operators of possibility
- Modal operators of necessity
- Presuppositions
- Mind Reading
As before, we chose our examples from 3 different areas:
- Politics
- Relationship
- Business operations
And we run each pattern through three examples from each of those areas.

#30 Language Series 02: Meta-Model – Generalizations
(2 votes)
The meta-model in neuro-linguistic programming (or meta-model of therapy) is a heuristic set of questions designed to specify information, challenge and expand the limits to a person’s model of the world. It responds to the distortions, generalizations, and deletions in the speaker’s language. The meta-model forms the basis of Neuro-linguistic programming [...] (Wikipedia)

- The language of precision, a tool to uncover the deep structure, the map
- Using the Meta-Model in everyday life
- In conflicts
- Finding the root cause of the problem as a trainer
- Way to gain deep understanding and direct people to the solutions
- Description of the Meta-Model
- Brief history
- Meta-model violations
- Generalizations, Distortions, Deletions

#29 Language Series 01 – an Overview
(2 votes)
- Language and NLP
- NLP – is Neuro-Linguistic Programming – language is a key
- Language is the habitat we live in, and learn. NLP is learning how to learn.
- Comparison with “wolf children” – those who don’t have a language
- Language is enfolded in us, and the context unfolds it out of us.
- Language shapes and creates realities.
- Ambiguity in words
- Linguistic relationships that wouldn’t have existed without the language
- What we think changes what we sort for, and the language is the tool that directionalizes the mind
- How different languages shift the perceptions of reality
- Pioneering work in Language
- Alfred Korzibski – connection of language and neurology, language and environment.
- The map is not the territory (distortion)
- The map does not represent all of the territory (deletion)
- Every map is self-reflexive (generalization)
- Noam Chomsky – transformational grammar. Deep structure and surface structure.
- NLP: The Meta-Model, the Milton Model, and the Sleight of Mouth
- Alfred Korzibski – connection of language and neurology, language and environment.
- The structure of the following podcasts in the language series
(total of 11 podcasts including this one)- Three main models, each in three podcasts (total of 9 podcasts):
- Meta-model
- Sleight of Mouth patterns
- Milton model
- For each model, we pick 3 different contexts, and apply each pattern in each of those contexts
- The final podcast will tie all the models together
- Three main models, each in three podcasts (total of 9 podcasts):

#28 Perceptual Positions
(3 votes)
Perceptual positions is a neuro-linguistic programming and psychology term denoting that a complex system may look very different, and different information will be available, depending how one looks at it and one’s point of view. (Wikipedia)
- Defining perceptual positions
- Different points of view
- Points of reference, different perspectives, way of shifting your outlook, thus changing your experience and understanding of the event
- The more perspectives you master, the more objective your view of reality becomes
- Four different perceptual positions – more detailed definitions
- Give 3 different frames:
- Martial arts
- Relationships
- Coaching
- Uses of the perceptual positions in NLP: conflict resolution technique
- Expand the frame of perceptual positions
- - Finding your element, and your life story. Parallels Colin Wilson’s idea of dual consciousness: worm’s eye view and bird’s eye view
- Perceptual positions as roles: Walt Disney creativity strategy
- "Board of directors" for your life
- Fun games to develop your skills in perceptual positions
- Shadow walk exercise
- Any contact sport
