EMPOWERING YOUR MEMORY

While having a good memory is not a prerequisite for coaching, it certainly helps. And while we do not explicitly train memory development in Meta-Coaching, it is fully implied in the NLP Communication Model. In fact, one of the things that many people discover in learning NLP is that their ability to think, learn, and remember is enhanced— sometimes significantly enhanced. How does that work? What implicit training occurs in learning NLP? And how can I, as a Meta- Coach, develop a richer and more robust memory?

What You Need to Know The first thing you need to understand is that memory is intimately connected to thinking itself. If in thinking, understanding, comprehending, believing, deciding, etc. you didn’t remember anything, then everyday you would be starting all over again. All your learning and understanding would be for naught. What you remember from your reading and studying forms a reference base within you that you then use to build upon. And it is how your “mind” is constructed. So thank your brain structures for that— thank your short-term memory that your hippocampus processes and your higher neo-cortex and prefontal cortex for transferring into long-term memory.
