There is a lot of question in terms of who is the best model to use. To be able to select a single model of excellence is great. Many top NLP developers are able to model people well. However, the question goes back to how NLP modeling processes are themselves “model-able”.

The first thing to do is to ask if the selection of models is appropriate. In my experience, it is the selection and categorization of models that enriches the map of modeling. An world-class expert will show you certain things that the average expert will not be able to show you. Similarly, natural experts, trained experts and even those who are always doing what experts consider to be “mistakes” add to the modeling map.

Categories I modeled in the area of public speaking:

  • Championship public speakers
  • Humorous public speakers
  • Inspirational public speakers
  • Terrible public speakers

Sub-categories of public speaking

  • Intonation
  • humorous punchlines and failures
  • Structure of delivery
  • Body language

Modeling is a fascinating tool that has enabled expert NLP developers worldwide, and is the crux of my training program focusing utilizing NLP in the context of enhancing the skills of life coaches.

    Modelling is great way to develop – even if the person doesn't complete NLP traing it can be a useful tool to developing personal skills and understanding the success of others.
