February is all but upon us and we hope that you are giving yourself the best chance you can have to succeed.  In this newsletter we have a few articles, but our main one is about visualisation and actually forms the first part of a series on getting the outcomes you want – Achieving your goals.  We hope you enjoy the first part today – The Journey to Realise your Future.

The Journey to Realise Your Future

By Sonya Yeh Spencer & Mark Spencer, NLP Trainers, Change Agents & Facilitators

“Have you set your New Year’s resolution?”  I was asked by a person I only just met at a friend’s place:  “Did you know that nine out of ten New Year’s resolutions fail within the first three months?”  Biting my tongue, my natural response did not burst out with “according to whom” or challenging his presuppositions that I should have set New Year resolutions in the first place, or New Year is the time to set any kind of goal or resolution, or that those that are set fail, and a definition of ‘fail’.  He continued “Look, if you are wondering how you can achieve your goals this year and not become one of the statistics or part of the group of failures, I can help you.  I am a coach.” ….

“What is the most important element to achieve a goal?” I asked.  His reply was very smooth….

….“Yes, visualisation does work and is important if one wants to realise their compelling future”, as I step away and start formulating this article and maybe a series of articles to help you, the reader achieving your outcomes.

Make your Desired Outcome Real

In our own study of successful people, experiments on realising our own desired outcomes and helping others to achieve what they want, we have found the ability to visualise what one truly desires is one of the key ingredients.   Your ability to visualise does much more than enabling your unconscious to activate the “Automatic Success Mechanism”, or as we call it the “Automatic Success Engine (ASE)”, that drives us and create the necessary filters that focus us on what we want to achieve.  The ASE is also the feedback mechanism that provides important information to guide us, so it is also an “Automatic Success Guidance System (ASGS)”.  There are many more elements that are involved in achieving goals and making your desire a reality.  It really pays to understand, work with and experiment a little to understand how your ASE and ASGS works.  You will be reaping the rewards at the end of the day.

In 2012, we will deliver a series of articles that will focus on how to help you achieve your goals and we invite you to participate in the experiments and exercises that we have set out in each articles to participate fully.

We will help you establishing your own ASE and use your ASGS.  Along the way, these articles will enhance your beliefs that will help you achieve your goals and how to identify the beliefs that does not assist you and need to be changed.  The relationship between self image, self worth and getting the life you want will also be clear to you.

We are starting this series today with “How to Make Visualisation Work”, and you can read the full article here, with processes you can follow yourself.   This article includes sections: 

• Create Compelling Future – Make Visualisation Work,
• Is it Compelling? and
• Experiment With This Process Yourself

• An Excellent Article on Giving Feedback to Students… [Excerpt] Feedback is the nature of the response we get from the class, an individual child, parent, a colleague or the Head. It can be a verbal comment, body language, an email or phone call. The feedback can be directly to you, overheard or passed on to you. The problem is not the feedback itself; the problem is how we react to it. So how can we as teachers improve the nature of the feedback we give? … Read on…

• An article of interest on Why Appreciation Matters so much… [Excerpt]   The single highest driver of engagement, according to a worldwide study conducted by Towers Watson, is whether or not workers feel their managers are genuinely interested in their wellbeing. Less than 40 percent of workers felt so engaged…. Feeling genuinely appreciated lifts people up. At the most basic level, it makes us feel safe, which is what frees us to do our best work. It’s also energizing. When our value feels at risk, as it so often does, that worry becomes preoccupying, which drains and diverts our energy from creating value.   So why is it that openly praising or expressing appreciation to other people at work can so easily seem awkward, contrived, mawkish and even disingenuous?   Read on….
