Communication Skills

“The response you get is only as good as your communication” NLP presupposition

Over 90% of personal communication is made up of:
Body language (55%), other vocals (38%) and only 7% actual words.
Communicating effectively involves a raft of skills.

  • Do you find yourself misunderstood, put upon?
  • Do you find yourself reacting immediately (as if on automatic pilot)?
  • Would you like to respond effectively?
  • Are you always saying yes when you would prefer to say no and then being resentful and/or feeling overburdened?
  • Do you back down or remain silent even though you want to say something important?
  • Are you seen as aggressive or assertive?
  • Is an insistence on always being ‘right’ effective in what you want to achieve?
  • Do you have a sense of yourself as being equally worthy and having equal rights as others?

Many of the basic tenets of Mindfulness, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Clinical Hypnotherapy, NLP and Zen philosophy underpin successful communication.
