EP #75 From Conflict to Creativity: Using Conflict as a Resource
Conflict is a part of life. But how we deal with it and resolve it is what helps us maintain harmony. NLP has an outstanding process to reduce or eliminate inner conflict at any logical level.
*1. Where does conflict occur?*
*Areas in which conflict manifests*
*Understanding conflicts of beliefs and values*
There are many types of conflict. Conflicts of beliefs and values are about issues where compromise is not an option. They are conflicts based upon disagreement through which the parties involved perceive a threat to their needs, interests, or concerns.
*Managing conflicts of beliefs and values*
*2. How do you know you are dealing with a conflict?*
*3. How do you start the resolution process? What is your outcome? Is it well-formed? Is it demonstrated in sensory experience?*

Ep #74 The Most Misquoted Communication Idea in the Universe!
Have you ever sat in a seminar or a talk about communication and heard the speaker use these statistics about communication?
· 7% are the words,
· 38% is the way the words are said (para verbals) and
· 55% of the communication is non-verbal (body language)
These often yet misquoted, out-of-context figures came out of the work of Albert Mehrabian, specifically, “Silent Messages.” Beginning the in 1960’s Mehrabian, a Professor Emeritus of Psychology at UCLA, has been known for his pioneering work in the field of nonverbal communication (body language). In the 1960s Professor Albert Mehrabian and colleagues at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), conducted studies into human communication patterns. When their results were published in professional journals in 1967, they were widely circulated across mass media in abbreviated form. Because the figures were so easy to remember, most people forgot about what they really meant. Hence, the myth that communication is only 7 percent verbal and 93 percent non-verbal was born. And we have been suffering from it ever since.
The fact is Professor Mehrabian's research had nothing to do with giving speeches because it was based on the information that could be conveyed in a *single word.*
It is important to understand the context of Mehrabian findings. At a minimum, the formula applies to *communications of feelings and attitudes (like-dislike), not simple communication, ambiguity, or incongruence.*
*Here is the oversimplification of the true statistics:*
· 7% of *meaning *in the words that are spoken.
· 38% of *meaning* is paralinguistic (the way that the words are said).
· 55% of *meaning* is in facial expression.
Listen as Mehrabian's findings are explained, the studies that determined the findings, and the misquotations are debunked. The record is set straight!

EP # 73 Light a Fire Under Your ______! Motivation and the System of NLP
How can NLP address motivation?
Motivation is the desire or willingness to do something. A major complaint of many clients is that they aren’t motivated.
The Keys to getting yourself to do something can be addressed in a system using the model of NLP.
These include
1. Submodalities – compelling future; contrastive analysis
2. Meta programs
3. Beliefs
4. Values
5. Language
6. Model operators
To name a few.
Here are some Motivation Presuppositions
1. You inspire others, you motivate yourself. It is an inside job
2. An important premise: you are not unmotivated. To say I want motivation implies that I don’t have any. You demonstrated motivation by making the statement that I am not motivated. Saying I have something or don’t have something is digital. A unified field is holistic and analog.
3. If you have the desire (note definition), you are motivated.
4. Maybe you want to get yourself to improve on the timeliness of your execution. Then NLP can help.Support the show
