Hello, I have been reading and studying your book ’NLP at Work’. I must say it has been enlighting, thank you. I have noticed that whilst performing a work, instrumentalists can allow their emotive feelings to overide their professional conscience and ’overcook’ a passage, phrase, line to the detriment of the overall ensemble (stick out). As see this as a conductor and a performer and whist I can advise the indivadual in rehearsal I would like the instrumentalist to be self conscience of their own sound as an individual, in a section and as a group (Orchestra, Band). I have though hard about which process to introduce and have decided on the Associate/Disassociate technique to highlight this self-awareness and ultimate wisdom of choice in the production of sound. Would you agree? or is there a more suitable technique? Thank you for you time. |

Dear Stewart, sorry to have taken some time to get back to you. I have been working in India and just got back a few days ago. I did read your mail while I was away and wanted to give it some thought before I replied. The strategy that you are exploring sounds interesting. The principle is to try and find out what works. A classic NLP approach in this situation would be to find your model of excellence (who gives the best performance of the kind you describe). What we learn with NLP is how to unpack what this model of excellence does .. which might include dissociation or appropriate association for example but it will undoubtedly include other strategies too. These might include what they believe and where they put their attention. What I would suggest is find you model of excellence and then explore with them what they are doing especially in their thinking. Find out where they put their attention and what is going on in their thinking. Then you can begin to teach the strategy to those who ’stick out’. Even just for those who want to develop their excellence to get into the identical physiology as the model of excellence will help... I hope that gives you some food for thought and experimentation.. Very sincerely, |
