Through Acting As If the positive use perceptual filters
With the co-founder of NLP

Dr John Grinder & Carmen Bostic St Clair
Sat 6th and Sun 7th Nov 2010
The entire justification for the application of any NLP pattern (classic or new code) is the creation of choice in precisely those contexts where you (or the client) has no choice or choices that are NOT satisfactory at the required level of achievement or quality.
One of the least explored sets of possibilities for introducing choices is the positive use of perceptual filters. Imagine what would happen if you were to invite your beloved to a dinner and, without any explanation, you were to act as if he or she were the finest expert on the delicate subject of how to:
- enhance the affectionate elements of an ongoing relationship
- offer refined feedback about some things that he or she would like to suggest that their partner change
- design and implement a way of raising children to realize their genius
- take a new and revolutionary idea to market
- create a caring and safe environment for aged parents
How would the way that you attend (respond change) to what they said and did shift , how would the form and purpose of the clarifying questions that you ask change, how would you interpret what they suggested,...? We are all aware that self-fulfilling prophecies can lead to precisely what we do NOT want - now, the question is reversed:
What, if any, are the limits of what you can evoke from someone simply by congruently acting as if they had certain talents, skill sets, competencies or desires to accomplish specific things in the world? What are the longer term consequences of such self-manipulation? Where ethically, if anywhere, are there lines to be identified, drawn and respected?
Objectives This seminar will be a dramatic exploration of the "positive" use of filtering - that is, the deliberate contrary-to-fact congruent adoption and implementations of “as if” conditions and abilities in others (and by implication, in yourself) that elicit new and startling behaviours and experiences.
