NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming is used by psychologists, therapists and coaches - while also politicians are blamed to use it to manipulate their audience! Since May 2022 I am a certified NLP practitioner myself and this education has made a huge impact how I communicate with people around me. In this episode we create the fundament for a better communication: active listening. You will learn two important tools for better listening – backtesting and paraphrasing – that you can immediately apply in your every-day life. The podcast ‘Spotlight your TRUE self’ is based on three pillars: 1) Self-confidence & self-esteem 2) Managing your emotions 3) Concrete communication techniques based on NLP And in each episode, you will hear about one of them.
