The Power of Teaching is in Solidifying What You Know

Embarking on the journey to become an NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) Master Practitioner has been an enlightening experience. One of the most profound realizations I've had during this process is the adage, "To teach others is to learn yourself better." This statement has proven to be incredibly true as I navigate through my master practitioner course. The opportunity to teach associate-level students about the NLP communication model has not only deepened my understanding but has also enhanced my ability to apply these concepts in real-life scenarios. Before diving into my teaching experiences, it's essential to briefly explain the NLP communication model. This model explores how individuals perceive and interpret the world around them, emphasizing the interplay between our sensory experiences (visual, auditory, kinesthetic) and our internal responses. By understanding this model, one can better communicate and influence others, leading to more effective coaching

  Have you ever finished a good book and felt a surge of inspiration to see the world differently? That's exactly what happened to me after reading Steven Schuster's book "The Art of Thinking in Systems." It opened my eyes to the limitations of linear thinking (point A to point B) and the exciting possibilities of lateral thinking (out-of-the-box solutions). But what truly captured my imagination was the concept of Systems Thinking.  Although I have studied this concept of Systems Thinking as a part of my thesis, I was always looking at the macro picture of how system thinking can be applied to organisations and to running of teams and learning processes. In the rumination I did over these years on Systems Thinking, I hardly thought of how it can be applied to thinking day to day and putting on meaning to how are thoughts can be well structured. The organisation of thoughts as systems at play, can definitely change the way we view the world and the way are minds work.
