The Century of the BRAIN BRAIN MODE Influences
• Work smarter, not harder • How you prefer to:
– Learn
• Out-think, out-learn, out-create – Think
– Work • What you:
• Leveraging brain power #1 success factor – Communicate – Enjoy doing
“Knowing your strengths in how you learn and think and – Pay attention to
acting on this knowledge, is the key to performance.” – Remember

3. Principles NLP and Accelerated Learning
Neuro-Linguistic Accelerated Learning
• Everyone's BRAIN MODE power is unique Programming (NLP) • People are smarter and
• Modes are learning and thinking styles • Neuro – sensory inputs more capable than they
create thought think
• Mode preferences are diverse
patterns/experience • Limiting beliefs limit our
• Preferences can be measured reliably • Linguistic – language performance and quality
• No style combination is better than another imprints to provide of life
experience • Remove barriers to
• The power comes from leveraging strengths • Programming – steps to quicken and expand
• All modes can be strengthened create desired outcome learning

??? Activity
• How do you approach learning? • Pick a partner
– New project at work • Choose Person A and Person B
• Person A – explain to Person B how to get to
– Topic you are studying in school
your house from work
– New technology/equipment to use – 3 minutes
• Person B – explain to Person A how to get to the
airport from work
– 3 minutes
• Discuss how your learning and thinking styles
came in to play in this discussion
– 4 minutes

4. Did you … Sensory Modes
• Draw a picture? • Take in information • Visual (V)
• Use your hands to “assist” the communication • Express yourself – See and Show
process?
• Give exact mileage? • Mode Sequence • Auditory (A)
• Describe landmarks such as stores, restaurants, – Primary – Hear and Tell
or other visual indicators? – Secondary • Kinesthetic (K)
• Talked out loud to your “friend”? – Tertiary – Do and Demonstrate
• Saw the drive in your mind?
• Started with an overview of the drive (e.g., “it will
take about 15 minutes… or I live in Clayton…)?
• Gave step-by-step, detailed instructions?

Use BRAINMODE®power worksheet • Work and learning environments affect performance
– Review strategies from categories • Remove distractions that block performance
representing your strongest modes
• Create environments that align with what you have to do
• Divide into groups by your Primary Sensory Activities Thinking Activities
Thinking Mode
Visual – observing Global – multi-task, creative, ideas, strategic
• Pick “Thinking partner” with different Auditory – listening Sequential – single task, data, accuracy, logic
Primary Thinking mode Kinesthetic – hands-on
– Discuss how to work together in future
