In order for us to know how to match and build rapport with others, we must first be able to observe others with precision. In NLP, we call this calibration.

Do you realize that when you speak, move or look at people in a particular way, you actually trigger off certain judgments?

Here are several frames of the Meta Model that can be applied to the particular communication situation you are facing.

Let us explore the concept of precision. How precise are you in communicating something to somebody? A lot of the time, people think they communicate effectively, but actually fail to realize that the communication contains a lot of presumptions. To weed out presumptions, we need to chunk downwards, and be as specific as we can in order to get our message across.

Here are 7 steps of communication, if applied, will allow you to develop your communication skills that can make you a master communicator.

Many times, most of the problems and obstacles that arise from communication come from assumptions.

There are four main classes of people in NLP and we normally refer to them as the "Visuals", the "Auditories", the "Kinesthetics" and the "Digitals".

Have you ever wonder what really drives you in your life? Why do you do what you do? What drives your decisions and choices you make constantly?

If you had a person, let us say Jeff, who places a very high value on freedom and fun, and you compared him with someone else, called Sam who places a very high value on security and comfort. Would they behave very differently and make very different decisions? Of course they would.

Changing the way you define your values is a powerful strategy. So, if your current definition of failure is not reaching my goals, you may want to redefine in such a way that it propels you, rather than stops you from taking action.
