Summary: Who does not have the ability to " know human beings in depth and know how to communicate effectively with them " will have fewer tools at their fingertips to deal with this new reality of permanent changes. The technician must have the openness and humility to understand that he must be willing to continue learning and at this time continuous learning will be another part of his job. NLP or Neurolinguistic Programming has become an essential tool for the work of coaches, it provides concrete answers to the improvement of communication in the work of teams.
"In times of change, those who are willing to learn will inherit the earth, while those who think they already know everything will find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that has ceased to exist."
Eric hoffer
The world is going through a stage of great and abrupt movements, models fall and borders are erased, new forms of work and coexistence emerge. Many theorists claim that the only permanent thing will be "change."
Change is a social phenomenon that occurs in various contexts, with different magnitudes and through various manifestations.
In one way or another, people are always affected. And like it or not, continuous change will be an inevitable reality.
Until a long time ago, efficient ways of thinking stopped being so when faced with unexpected and sometimes contradictory realities.
What happens when a country is hit by a great crisis and resources are increasingly scarce?
No more promises to build the team of dreams, with large acquisitions and reality marks "that you have to make do with what you have."
And this is where the coach can keep thinking about the purchases that are never going to be made or adapt to a new reality and design it based on the potential it has.
Who will be the most requested technicians for this new reality?
Those who arrive with a list of innumerable demands (emphasizing that what there is is not enough for me and if they do not get what I ask for, I cannot meet the club's commitments!), Or those who have the capacity to do more with less and develop to the maximum what they have generating extraordinary results?
Those who do not have the ability to " know human beings in depth and know how to communicate effectively with them " will have fewer tools at their fingertips to deal with this new reality.
The technician must have the openness and humility to understand that he must be willing to continue learning and at this time continuous learning will be another part of his job.
NLP or Neurolinguistic Programming has become an essential tool for the work of coaches, it provides concrete answers to the improvement of communication in the work of teams.
It provides proven techniques to optimize mental processes and improve the way of communicating, encouraging behavioral flexibility, strategic thinking and the achievement of extraordinary results in the fulfillment of planned objectives and goals.
The name Neuro-Linguistic Programming includes the following three concepts:
- Programming: it is a term taken from the field of computer science that suggests that our thoughts, emotions and actions are like programs, which can be changed according to the moment and the situation in which we find ourselves. Neuro: all behavior comes from our neurological processes of vision, hearing, smell, taste, touch and feeling. We make contact with the world through the five senses, we give "meaning" to information and act on it. Linguistics: refers to language, as a system of meaning that allows us to communicate, the acquisition of this tool is basic for all social interaction because words create meaning from sensory information.
NLP has to do with the specific behaviors that humans use when they think, speak, and develop behaviors with the aim of generating specific results.
What tools does NLP contribute to the work of a team?
Improve group communication
- It eliminates interference between what the coaches communicate and the competitors understand. It detects the effect, that the message and the way of communicating it, produces in the other (to modify it if necessary) according to the desired objective. It provides concrete tools in the process of the internal communication of the group, to achieve an effective and fluid understanding of all the components of the Team and to be able to effectively coordinate joint actions.
Action on language
- Language is generative, not only does it allow us to describe what we perceive of reality, but "language creates realities", because it is basically a system of representations. The team is "a network of conversations", without realizing it we spend the greatest part of the day talking with other people. Through the correct use of words we can alter the spontaneous course of events, "we can make things happen." It is essential to learn to design effective conversations that guide us towards the desired results.
Helps to clearly define the future we are heading towards
- It collaborates in the definition of goals and objectives, allowing to visualize in advance the exact image of success, “the vision”. From questions and conversations, it identifies which are the obstacles that stop the path towards the set goal. It acts on the interferences that do not allow to achieve the desired objective, detects opportunities in each problem, designs spaces to overcome limitations, with which athletes are able to improve their performance and overcome challenges.
Generates commitment and defines belonging to the group
- It favors “group synergy”, paves the way towards the objectives.
“The team is more than the sum of the individuals”, work is being done on improving the circulation of the word, positive encouragement among teammates and strengthening the bond with the coaching staff.
Psychically train the team
- It explores the inner world of competitors to detect and dissolve those obstacles in the performance of individuals and the team, which do not allow them to develop their best level of performance. Helps to concentrate better, strengthen internal dialogue, achieve confidence, motivation and learn to think about the goal, through the use of individual and group techniques that help strengthen resources and reduce limitations. Reorder the sequences of thought and behavior (motivational strategies) to obtain the best performance at the time of maximum tension. Builds a positive psychic attitude. It generates changes in the "belief system", which allows increasing the level of personal development.
"NLP is a new tool successfully proven in high performance and demanding Teams"
