My recent interest in NLP made me realise that I have stumbled onto a great set of skills which is crucial in human communication, and I am grateful for being exposed to such useful ideas. Having read more about this subject matter have anchored my personal conviction in the power of belief and its very knitted relation to our experience of reality. Very strong stuff, the skills are very systematic and easy to understand but require conscious and intentional practice.
What I had originally imagined to be a set of skills useful for persuasion turned out to be in fact a lot more inward looking, having the focus really on the self, and mastering one's mind in altering perception. Decisions and actions are all intrinsically linked to that. Incidentally, the mental exercises I found out in NLP are similar to the Engaged Mastery course the SMC had gone through, although they have been packaged differently.
These new found skills and ideas will find their usefulness in many educational situations and I am excited about the prospect of empowering my Sec 4N Art pupils the belief in achieving their best when everyone signs up to take their O Level Art exams this year.
