People from different walks of life have asked me if The Art of Seeing training is suitable for them, or if they are suitable for the training.
My husband and I were on our weekly walk together. My husband is an engineer and manages big projects.
My husband told me he is interviewing. He is looking for someone that can think a bit outside the box and have enough initiative to get big projects going.
He said to me, “I don’t know why I’m interviewing. You never know how the person you employ is going to do eventually. Only after they work for you for a while you can know”.
I replied “Well… why don’t you come to my training, ‘The Art of Seeing’ in November and learn how to know a lot about who the person is from a little chat with them?’
My husband did sit in all the NLP trainings I conducted back in Israel 20 years ago. He was assisting me with the technical aspects. While he sat there quietly, he did also learn a lot.
Since he needs to know it now, he asked me if I could give him a clue. A clue about how could he know a lot about who the person is from just a little interview.
I spontaneously gave him a few questions. He was so happy that he wrote them down quickly and uses them now in his interviewing process.
Here are a couple of the questions I gave him:
# Tell me about your work experience, but not about how many years or what role. Tell me about your internal experience: how did you feel, how did you think, what did you see? (This one is my husband’s favourite question.)
# Tell me about a holiday in which something went completely wrong / not as you planned. (This one is my favourite question.)
# How do you know that you did a good job? It can be doing a good job in a project, or even better, in making dinner or anything interesting that you did.
I helped my husband understand how you can know so much about the person from their answers as well as from the way they relate to the questions. About how someone with enough initiative will find it interesting to answer these kinds of questions. While, someone with low initiative will struggle with the questions in and of themselves and will find it difficult to relate to the questions.
My daughter heard our discussion about it later at home. She liked it too. She’s on a student job hunt now. She said she wished her interviewers asked her these kinds of questions too. Underlying this wish is the wish to truly be seen for how capable she is. To be seen for what she truly is, rather than what her interviewer needs to tick off their list.
If you are curious about The Art of Seeing, if you are passionate about being able to see people truly and deeply, you’ve ticked the main prerequisite for the training! We welcome you to join us as a wonderful part of the training group, whatever walk of life you come from.
On a personal note: I am a trainer and LOVE teaching. I call it being an edutainer. I love it when people come and have profound experiences, have fun, and learn so much. This kind of learning and teaching isn’t just fun and effortless, it also sinks deep inside, into different levels of our being. With this kind of learning, you don’t have to memorise a thing, or think and plan. Instead, you will find yourself in a state of flow in life and when you work with people. In this state of flow everything that you’ve learned by experience and having fun just comes and does the job through you.
I warmly welcome you to the training and look forward to going through these special experiences together.
