After being in corporate running the sales and training side of business for over two decades, I became an NLP coach and trainer. Over the years, I have discovered that most people are caught by the myth that NLP is only for certain groups of people.?

This inspired me to put together some interesting findings that I have gather over the years as I taught & coach in NLP. There 22 key essentials why NLP is for everyone.?

As you read on, have a mental checklist of which essentials are a necessity, for the future or not required. By the end of the read, you would have a clear picture of what are the skillsets and mindsets for the success you want to create for yourself.

Essential #1: Being in a Stuck State

A month back, a business owner approached me with a situation. Being in business for 4 years, she had tried doing everything that she could to push her business forward and met with failure. No movement. She is stuck.

Being stuck is a common scenario in life. Here are several known stuck states, being overwhelmed, in a prolonged fatigue, tiredness, burnout, lost and directionless, having deep conflict within self, feeling hopeless & helpless, lonely, and worthless.?

Essential #2: Battling Procrastination

As the demands of our daily live grows, the daily to-do-list expands exponentially. Be it a professional or a business owner or a student, one has to be able to take on multiple skills and tasks to meet the standard expectation of the world.?

Having a long list of to-do-list, out of which 80% are the things that one is foreign in doing will easily lead to procrastination. One would naturally put it off until the dateline is beyond another extension, gets pushed to the corner where either it gets done or breakdown.

Essential #3: Overcoming Anxiety

The impact of Covid-19 has created massive anxiety in the lives of many.?Statista Malaysia 2022 confirms this and shockingly shows that the age group of 16-24 records the highest percentage occurrence of anxiety.

Learning to identify what is anxiety, the causes and get equipped with the right process to handle it takes us along way and a great source of support and help to society.

Essential #4: Motivate Self, Motivate Others

As a junior manager, I remember these words clearly – it is all about motivation.

Be it getting ourselves to do something or getting others to do it, it is really about motivation. Now here is where it becomes a myth. Many people thinks that if I am motivated to do something this way, then others would also be motivated by the similar motivation!

Here is the real truth – all of us are motivated by different things. That is why while some gets excited with the latest incentive drive, some would go unmoved. Also this is when the saying goes, it is not all about money.

How would you know who is motivated by what? Learn about values.

Essential #5: Dealing with bad habits

Have you notice that whenever one is nervous, he starts biting his finger nails or lips? Or when someone gets on stage to speak, he would sway his body back and forth?

There is a simple 8 min method to removing these habits.??No just one method, in fact a few methods for one to choose and use them. You can do it on your own and do it for others too.

Essential #6: Heightened awareness.

Several years back while crossing the street in the heart of KL, I got mug by a motorcyclist. It came so quickly that I really didn’t know what happen. In a moment, I was on the ground, face flat and shocked. It took a long period of time before I dared to cross the streets again.

You would agree that having an awareness of our surrounding is a real essential. However living in a multi-tasking world – discussion over lunch, walking and talking, make up while texting, this is an unavoidable. What if you were trained to be aware of your surrounding even in a discussion while eating your lunch?

Essential #7: Instantaneously connect with Anyone at Anytime

How long would it take to make a connection with someone that you are meeting for the first time??

5 mins? 10 mins? 20 mins? In the next one hour? Or a life time?

Now imagine you knowing the exact steps to connect with someone in 30 seconds, how much smooth would life be for you?

Essential #8: Getting communication right – on the bulls eye!

Communication is an essential in life. Regardless of what job or industry you are in, you have to communicate.

When were you formally taught how to communicate? I don't remember our formal education doing this. No we have not been taught to do so. We merely learn from our environment.

As you reflect, recalling the observations of the incidents, wondering how easy one can get into misunderstandings, disagreements, and quarrels? It is just as easy to communicate in a way that others are responsive, aligned and motivated to accomplish a task with pride and urgency.

Essential #9: Know the Limiting Beliefs that is Limiting You

Someone once told me the only way to have lasting change is to begin with the mind. I absolutely agree to this simple because we are not aware of the many limiting beliefs that surround us. We have been conditioned in a way to accept them as part of life. As a result, it holding us back from being who we are meant to be, doing what matters most to us and our loved ones, having the life of fulfilment instead of the false reality.

Essential #10: Know How to Eliminate Them & Be Empowered!

Knowing and doing something about it is two worlds apart. Knowing what you now know, with the ability to identify the limitations that surrounds you. The next step is to eliminate them by changing them into empowering beliefs.

You will be taught the right process, practice on it and able to do for others.

Essential #11: Convincing Clarity & Conquering Confidence

One can be productive in a day and yet not attain the goals and desires of the heart. This has everything to do with the rare commodity – clarity. In the current times, its demand has increased but the supply remains scarce.?

With clarity comes confidence. As clarity gives you the vision of the right steps to take, confidence is having the right focus as you take on these steps. The clear one is towards what they want, the more confidence are their external behaviour.

Essential #12: Right skillset for the future

The World Economic Forum in 2021 published the top 10 skills for the future and made a statement that more than 50% of the current work task force will have to up skill to get there which will take on the in the next 5-6 years.

This has triggered many to enrol into various technical programs such as data analytics, data science, AI and so forth. While being equipped with technical skills is important, what is more important is having the mastery of the cognitive skills, interpersonal skills and self leadership which encompass 80% of the skills in the future. All these are part of the NLP training.

Essential #13: Upgrade your Logical Levels

Logical levels refers to the capability of your mind to connect and link ideas and information together that gives you the insights and clear distinctions so that decision making is effective and are at several levels ahead of the current situation.?

It means you can identify the problem and immediately pin point the root cause of the problem, know the solution to the problem and then teach others how to solve it.

The higher the logical levels, the higher your productivity and proficiency and the easier for you to progress forward, move up the ladder of promotion and attain work life balance.

Essential #14: Complexity of Thinking to Thrive??

This brings me to the next point which is the complexity of thinking. Each one of us possesses our own level of complexity of thinking. The question to ask, is the your current complexity of thinking allowing you to thrive in your workplace or home? If it is no, then obviously your complexity of thinking is less. If it is yes, then do you have what it takes to go to the next level?

The key is the stress level and the intensity of being overwhelmed.

Essential #15: 16 ways to sleigh an objection elegantly.

Team leaders, head of divisions, speakers, coachers, care givers, parents, students, everyone is a sales person. We may not have a sales attached to our role, however, we sell ideas and influence others' decision making.

Essential #16: Learn to be creative

If you were to interview a creative director how to get creative and then create more works of art or campaigns or products?

They would say to do market research, brainstorm while you exercise, travel to other places to find your inspiration, connect with other creative geniuses, incorporate sufficient breaks into your working routine, start fresh and early, meditate to find the right vibes, have a notebook beside you all the time to jot down any thoughts that appears suddenly and it goes on.

You can have a strategy installed in you to generate creativity within self simply by following a set of steps that gives you astounding results everything you use it?

Essential #17: Agility, Adaptability & Flexibility – You want them ALL!

Agility, adaptability & flexibility; we hear and read of them frequently.?

The purpose for one to attain the ability to do all of these is so that you then are in a position of control.?

As an example for discussion, during the pandemic times, many businesses had to closed down until they discover the magic of being agile, to adapt and be flexible. Food businesses that changed and do delivery, grocery shops that went online and then deliver the goods, drive in cinemas, they thrived.??

To adopt these traits successfully from a perspective of business owners and head of divisions, it has to be a change in the way one thinks and perceives agility, adaptability & flexibility.

Essential #18: Have the formulae to model excellence.

One of the largest contributions in the world from NLP is modelling. In order to attain excellence in a short period of time, the best way is to model after excellence.?

This means, you identify the person that is exuberant excellence. then breakdown the process of excellence. And design a training to train others.

Essential #19: Mental Resilience

The American Physiological Association defines resilience as the process and outcome of successfully adapting to difficult or challenging life experiences, especially through mental, emotional, and behavioral flexibility and adjustment to the external and internal demands.

To be able to go through challenging life experience is a skill that can be learnt, harness and builds one’s mental resilience. Learning NLP gives you a systematic and structural approach in doing it effectively and practically.

Essential #20: Real Progression?

What is progression? When one gets promoted? When one makes the first one million in life? Or when a child gets straight As in her examinations year after year?

It may seemed to encompass all of the above and yet we found ourselves asking the question, are these what really progress is??

Behind the fa?ade of celebration of a promotion, hides the fear of having to deal and work with difficult team members, exceedingly high KPIs and endless meetings.?

Real progression is having the mastery of self and the environment which enables one to achieve the goals they have set in life.

Essential #21: Consistently achieve your goals in life.

The keyword is consistently. In the world of insurance, the proof that the agent is truly successful in terms of achievements are those who have achieved their titles as Court of The Table. This means they have consecutively achieved a certain amount of insurance sales for several years representing their consistency in achieving their business goals.

While consistency is associated with disciple, the techniques learnt in NLP helps one to create the right habits that drives consistency easily. These techniques remove the other internal programs in you that allows you to have high sense of focus and priority.
