NLP – Five Key Questions
Share this article:
These five key questions were suggested to me by Ben Shoshan, who is a mind set / executive coach working for Si Group. They are meant to be used when something negative happens, to reframe the situation, and change the usual reaction:
1. What could be good about this?
2. What’s not perfect, yet?
3. Who can help?
4. How can I have some fun with this?
5. What can be learnt from the whole thing?
This approach is really powerful. It draws on the learning to be found in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). I’m reading a fascinating book about this at the moment called “NLP Solutions” by Sue Knight.
I have tried it a couple of times. Taking each question in turn, and in order, I found that they create real actions that lift me out of the tendency to become negative.
