MASTERS OF MANIPULATION

How they can help themselves

A passer-by noticed a workman struggling to fell a tree. The longer he watched, the more he realised the workman was using a blunt tool, and just sawing and sawing away, and making very little impression on the tree. He said: ’Excuse me, but you seem to be really doing it the hard way. Your blade is blunt and worn out. Why not stop and sharpen your saw?’ The workman replied: ‘Stop? I can’t stop! I haven’t got time to stop and sharpen a saw. Can’t you see the thickness of this tree?’ and he continued on sawing and sawing and sawing…’

ASKING GREAT QUESTIONS

  1. “Using great Questions”The value of a consultation is not so much what you say as what you hear. There is nothing better than a really great question – it helps to get other people to reveal more than they consciously realise.
  2. NLP – WHAT is it all about?:
    • a. N-Neuro- Brain science
    • b. L- Linguistic – How we use words… e.g.” Why do I procrastinate? Vs How could I get this done? (unconscious wisdom)
