Once this has been accomplished, those strategies can be used by others to accomplish the same level of excellence. The same concept holds true for professional goals, interpersonal relationships, and a person's self-esteem.
Behaviors are relatively easy to identify.
The exciting and challenging task is to precisely elicit internal thinking processes, beliefs, and motivations. This task becomes even more challenging because very often, those who are top performers are not consciously aware of their internal thinking patterns that lead to their success. In the early 1970's, Richard Bandler, John Grinder, Robert Dilts, Judith Delozier, Leslie Cameron-Bandier and others discovered ways to access and identify specific and reliable templates that elicit internal mental processes, language patterns, and behavioral characteristics of successful people. This was the beginning of Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Neuro represents the internal workings of the brain, Linguistic refers to how language influences our experience both internally and in communication with others, and Programming is how to install effective strategies into our own life.
