NLP Simple Deletion

What is NLP Simple Deletion

Any statement with missing of deficient information is a simple deletion. In NLP Simple deletions are where part of the meaning are left out or lost. You can notice them in sentences with it and that. Also when referring to missing descriptions (adjectives) – as in “Please give me the report.”, can be challenged with the question “Which report do you want, specifically”. Assuming that you know which category or thing the person means can get you into trouble. You think you know which report the boss wants when she says “Get me a report on it straight away”. Filling in her request blindly and delivering the report will result in a mind read, cause you have to fill in the information for “it”.  Mind reading fills in the deletion gaps.

You can start now to imagine the power of Embedded Commands, especially now you can begin to relax and learn even more. Embedded commands often are used in a larger sentence structure to deliver them more smoothly and gracefully. The listener will not consciously relaize the directives that have been given to him or her.

NLP Embedded Questions

I am curious to know what you would like to learn from reading this blogpost. In NLP Embedded Questions are a powerful way to ask questions covertly, get a response and the listener not realizing that the question was not asked directly. So at this moment I am wondering what you want to learn next? Basically this technique comes down on the fact that the listener or receiver of this message does not refuse the question, because it is embedded within a statement about the speaker’s curiosity. This is very easy to learn theory about Indirect Elicitation Patterns and in specific about Embedded Questions. I am wondering how much you are going to exercise this technique, now.

NLP Inverse of the Meta Model

The first part of the Milton Model is called the inverse of the Meta Model. The Meta Model is a set of language patterns that can be used to describe an experience more in full. The Milton Model is the opposite of it. It allows you to be “artfully vague”. In the scope of being able to be artfully vague, it allows you to sound very specific and at the same time the suggestions given are general enough to be adequate for the experience of the listener. Where the Meta Model gives you a way to recover specific information that is deleted in any sentence, the Milton Model is the opposite. The Milton Model allows you to provide information in which all specific information is deleted. This requires the listener to fill in the deleted information provided by the Milton Model. How easy can your life be?
