SC4LE Life & Success Principles
Based on the Presuppositions of N.L.P, although they are convenient assumptions and neither true nor untrue, they provide a holistic, empathetic and understanding approach to ensure empowerment in both self and with others and if followed create a fulfilling work/life experience and journey.
- Respect the other person’s model of the world.
- Behaviour and change are to be evaluated in terms of context, and Ecology
- Resistance in a client is a Sign of a lack of rapport.
(There are no resistant people, only inflexible communicators. Effective communicators accept and utilize all communication presented to them.) - People are not their behaviours. (Accept the person; change the behaviour.)
- Everyone is doing the best they can with the resources they have available. (Behaviour is geared for adaptation, and present behaviour is the best choice available. Whether good (+) or bad (-), every behaviour is motivated by a positive intent.)
- Calibrate on Behaviour: The most important information about a person is that person’s behaviour.
- The map is not the Territory. (The words we use are NOT the event or the item they represent.)
- (U) You are in charge of your mind, and therefore your results (and I am also in charge of my mind and therefore my results).
- People have all the Resources they need to succeed and to achieve their desired outcomes. (There are no unresourceful people, only unresourceful states.)
- All procedures should increase Wholeness
- There is ONLY feedback! (There is no failure, only feedback.)
- The meaning of communication is the Response you get.
- The Law of Requisite Variety: The system/person with the most flexibility of behaviour will control the system.
- All procedures should be Designed to increase choice.
