Using NLP language helps you to direct other peoples attention.
The way you use words and sentences influences where attention goes.
If I have a client whose attention is mainly focused on their problems, then my role as an NLP’er is to shift their attention away from problems, and towards solutions.
The skill of doing this is trainable. It’s the whole purpose for the existence of this platform.. to help you take your communications to the next level.
Example:
client: “I can’t stop thinking about my ex”
me: “What would happen if you did?”
Notice how my question forces attention away from focusing on their ex for a moment?
Such a question shifts attention away from ex and towards having to answer a question that changes everything for a moment.
