MEANINGS YOU MUST CONVEY
BUT WILL NEVER KNOW
In my last reflection (2025 #54) I talked about the ‘meaning of meaning’ and said that meaning reflects the positive or negative significance we give something. Today I’ll drill a little deeper. The descriptions ‘positive or negative’ reflect a feeling. In Neuro-Semantics we speak of different levels of meaning—linguistic, associative, etc.—but today I’d like to address felt meaning.
There’s a saying in NLP (I can’t remember who said it) that, “it all comes down to the positive K” (kinaesthetic). In essence, everyone just wants to feel good and the way to make your training information memorable and impactful is to make it feel good. So good advice for a trainer is to ‘always leave the audience with a positive K’. Even if your training has taken people through any number of states and emotions, make sure they leave with a positive feeling/meta-state about any negative states— this is the structure of concepts like hope, trust, empowerment, etc.
