modelling process...
modelling is...
What is Modeling? Capturing, replicating and transferring any
expertise, ability or skill. Modeling is a process for replicating
human excellence. it identifies patterns of excellence and projects
those patterns for others to emulate and replicate through a
structured training process. The patterns identified by Modeling
techniques are the sets of beliefs, values, attitudes, heuristics,
internal mental processes and physical activities that characterize
certain skills. These patterns are shaped into a model that is used
to transfer to students those behavioral differences that make
certain people more effective than others with similar training and
backgrounds.

All human beings absorb information and experience through their five
senses (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, olfactory and gustatory), but
every individual absorbs information and experience through these
senses differently. This leads to a unique, individual perception of
the world and a particular subjective reality. Modeling studies the
subjective realities of experts, i.e. how their visual images,
auditory processes, tactile sensations and internal feelings,
beliefs, values and attitudes are sequenced together as specific
internal representations that enable a person to make decisions, be
motivated, learn, perform a skill and create.
It is possible to profile, capture and transfer expertise and high
performance behavior. Modeling is a way to decipher unconscious
processes and make them explicit. Modeling is by design strictly
practical.

The process of profiling, observing and interacting with high
performers, Modeling identifies and "de­codes" the high performer's
often unconscious patterns and behaviors. These "modeled" patterns of
inner behavior are then replicated systematically and can be
transferred to others through a unique and powerfully reinforcing
process.
first nlp models...
The first results were methods of how to build rapport, how to ask
relevant questions (meta model), how to use anchors (classical
conditioning) to utilize resources, how to change perspectives
(reframes), how to use different thinking styles (visual, auditory,
kinesthetic and digital) and how to utilize hypnotic language
patterns (Milton­model).

what we do...
We need to find out not only what are experts doing behaviourally
(outside) but also what they are doing mentally (inside). When we
have captured and encoded the expertise we can design a training
program to build up those components which are used by the experts.
NLP has developed over the years a series of useful distinctions and
models which help us to figure out and encode what is going on inside
an expert.
components to model...
NLP Components:

Physiology pulse rate, muscle tone, blood pressure, balance etc.­
might be important factors in most sports.
Attention defines where the focus of attention is set to and since
the amount of conscious
awareness is limited to seven plus minus two chunks the selection of
attention is important.
Sensory acuity describes the ability to make fine distinctions within
a sense .
Metaprograms are a set of patterns of information processing,
behavioural reaction, attention direction and preferences of
thinking .
Beliefs are rules and statements of causalities and cause effect
relations .
Values are abstract notions of things we like to get or avoid.
Strategies are a sequence of mental representations like pictures,
sounds, or feelings.
Identity is the role in which the expert sees him/herself.
Six key aspects...
Six key aspects ­

These are the:
(1) enabling beliefs, (2) heuristics, (3) values, (4) ability to make
refined distinctions within a particular representation system, (5)
internal mental approach, or cognitive strategy, and (6) physiology
of the expert or high performer. Let us consider each in turn.

(1) Enabling Beliefs ­ Beliefs either support or hinder excellent
performance. .
People perform well only when they have a set of beliefs that support
high performance.
The beliefs that support superior
performance may be elicited. it is first necessary to identify and
remove disenabling beliefs that are already
present in those others. The key process involves
the removal of the disenabling beliefs in trainees and the
installation of supporting or enabling
beliefs in their place.

(2) Heuristics ­ rules of thumb that a person actually uses to make
evaluations
and judgements in problem solving. They are largely unconscious.

(3) Values ­ Values are the things that people move toward or away
from. They are what
people spend time, energy and resources to achieve or avoid. Values
are thus the keys to
motivation. High performers are highly motivated to respond as they
do.

(4) Representations ­ Experts pay attention to factors in their
environment that other people
often don't notice and make critical distinctions about things that
other people lump together.
Experts know what
data to look for. They are able to represent critical aspects of
their environment and to correlate
these aspects with appropriate responses.

(5) Internal Mental Approach (Cognitive Strategy) ­ A ``strategy'' or
``internal mental
approach'' is the sequence of representational system changes that
result in the generation of
superior performance. it is through the rehearsal and mastery of the
specific mental syntax and
sequence of the expert.

(6) Physiology ­ there is a direct connection between the mind
and the body. Experts are able to place themselves in
mental and physical ``postures'' that lead to increased performance.
These postures may be
elicited and others trained to adopt them. One of the key elements of
any posture is the rate,
depth, rhythm and location of breathing. The mind cannot function
without a proper oxygen
supply. Stress and poor posture lead to fatigue both mentally and
physically.
