Walk Away - The Ultimate Freedom and the Power of No

Neil introduces the concept of Timelining, an NLP technique aimed at generating shifts in perspective and insight. Neil shares his personal experience with using Timelining in his own life and with his students and coaching clients. He guides listeners through the process of physically visualising their goals on a timeline, adjusting the timeline as needed, and creating a well-sequenced plan to achieve those goals. Neil emphasises the importance of engaging physically in the process to enhance the vividness of the visualisation. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS


The timelining technique is a creative visioning tool that uses space and time concepts to generate shifts of perspective and insight.


Timelining can be done mentally or physically, with the physical method being more effective as it involves moving the mind and body together.


When using timelining, visualise your goals at the end of the timeline and then assess how the distance feels from the present moment.


Adjust the position of goals on the timeline if they feel too far or too close, ensuring they are in a position that feels right.


By physically engaging in the timelining process, individuals can gain insights, adjust the sequence of events, and create a well-sequenced plan to achieve their goals.

BEST MOMENTS

"Time learning is a creative visioning tool that uses space and time concepts to generate shifts of perspective and insight."

"I'm constantly doing this everywhere I'm on the timeline. If it feels too long a time, too far away, I'll walk back along the timeline towards today to a point where the goal starts to feel about right."

"I've done this countless times with students and clients and every time I've been struck by how people change their ideas as they're playing."

"Typically, insights present themselves and people say things like, ooh, that feels too far away. I don't think I can get there."

"It's incredibly useful if you're prepared to go and play and do it physically."

Timelining

In this episode, Neil explores the importance of setting goals and the impact they have on personal growth and success. Drawing from his own experiences and insights gained over 25 years in business, Neil emphasises the need for clear, challenging goals that push individuals beyond their comfort zones. He discusses the concept of SMART goals and contrasts them with the BHAG model (Big Hairy Audacious Goals). Neil provides practical advice on how to work towards goals by breaking them down into manageable steps and establishing daily habits that move individuals closer to their desired outcomes. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Setting clear goals is essential for success and personal excellence.


Goals act as a rudder, compass, and lighthouse to guide progress towards the desired endpoint.


It is crucial to focus on the process of achieving goals rather than just the outcome.


Developing a habit of taking daily actions towards the goal can lead to long-term success.


Timelining is a valuable technique that can help in achieving goals effectively.

BEST MOMENTS

"Life without goals, without targets, without direction. You might blunder into something, sometime, but frankly it's a bit of a long shot, isn't it?"

"I set goals high for myself and for the people around me because I care. Something to live up to. Something worth going after." 

"100% at university probably isn't going to be possible. Not all the time and not in every circumstance." 

"The outcome is nothing without the process. So always focus on the process." 

"Habits are built in a simple three step model. Cue. Action. Reward."
