Using NLP For Team Building
Are you looking for a good team building exercise? Then NLP techniques can help you do this. One of big uses for NLP in this setting is through building rapport and working on communication styles. Here is an NLP team building exercise that I was apart of.
Have everyone pair up and start to model one another in the way they speak, how they walk, and how they hold themselves.
While it may seem goofy at first, you can really get into someone’s head when you model how they behave. After several minutes of this, switch partners.
In no time everyone has a great deal of rapport with one another because we have all literally walked in someone else’s shoes.
Another great team building exercise is to use sub modalities. By asking people to describe images in their heads you can see how some people are very similar or different.
One team building exercise using NLP I would like to try is for everyone to write a story with a powerful metaphor in it that resembles that the team’s challenge and how they will easily overcome it.
