Everything is a Mind-Game
Manage episode 336991622 series 2167900
Teaching, coaching and mentoring people is about change. We are constantly shaping and changing their minds. Neil shares how he helps his students grow by bypassing their habitual psychological defences to teach new habits and techniques.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The teaching process is fairly consistent, it's about shaping and changing people's minds for the better.
- The students' sense of identity will embody all sorts of beliefs including morals, self worth and level of talent. It is the teachers job to slip past these defences and re-teach the students an idea of their limits.
- Pre held misconceptions of, for example, coming from a musical family and believing they must follow suit, perhaps ideas of their lack of talent or they have been playing for years, making little progress, and believe the task impossible.
- Having students read an affirmative statement that is the opposite of their preconceived idea of their shortcomings.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Before a student or a client can effectively absorb and use the information we are trying to put across to them the mind has to be ready to receive it.’
‘Where the mind goes the body follows.’
‘That will massively affect the outcome because the student, the client, is gonna try and make those words come true.’
