7. Focus on Strengths
congruency: the integration of all your
strengths, skills & qualities in a single
activity
positive thinking: you hit what you aim at
so focus your thoughts on what you want
experience as a resource: use patterns of
success

8. calibration: notice changes and assign
meaning to them, particularly changes in
other people
personal edits: apply patterns of success to
new situations or to revisit past experience
in order to develop new learning
anchoring: associate particular experiences
to particular sensory stimuli so that they
can be accessed or changed

rapport: practice the elements of non-
verbal influence
perceptual positions: see yourself as
others are seeing you
model patterns of success: use
outcome formation and acute
observation to replicate behaviours

11. pacing and leading: use non-verbal
elements to establish connection and
influence
triple description: see the forest and
the trees (the relationship and the
individual)

to walk, then learn to talk your walk

behaviours to produce stronger
