Presuppositions about Communication: Practical NLP Podcast 10

Practical NLP Podcast - the map is not the territory

This week’s episode of the UK’s most listened to NLP podcast introduces three NLP ‘presuppositions’ or principles about successful communication (yes, I know it says ‘six presuppositions’ at the start of the podcast but we’ll cover the other 3 next week):

  • Respect for the other person’s ‘map of the world’
  • The ‘meaning’ of communication is the response you get
  • You cannot not communicate

As usual, we cover a lot of ground – so this week’s episode features how not to motivate your employees, Gerald Ratner’s fall from grace, my ‘tabloid press’ voice, and the facts behind the widely-quoted myth that 93% of communication is non-verbal.

The podcast includes some material from the Practical NLP audio course which you can get for free when you subscribe to the Practical NLP Newsletter.

    Various NLP trainers I’ve worked with have also mentioned the 93% non verbal theory. I’ve always intrinsically doubted this – it just sounded implausible the first time I heard it. Thanks for pointing out where this came from, and why it is nonsense in most cases!
