Calibration and NLP
Calibration is a communication skill which uses intuition. Without other people having to tell you, you develop a feeling of their intentions, beliefs and understanding. Knowing this will enable you to react appropriately to the situation. It is highly effective when relating with other people and deciding on what to do during a critical moment. For example, if a friend of yours is having a bad day, you don't have to directly hear from him his frustrated feelings. Through the words he says, his manner of speaking, his body language, his facial expression and his manner of interacting with you, he will show his frustration. It only means that unconsciously, you are still reacting to your surroundings. You are involved in everything that happens around you which makes you human in the process. There are goals to be met when engaging in conversation. You are either receiving information or influencing another to develop an understanding of your thoughts and emotions. Whatever you say or do affects those around you and you are also greatly affected by other people. You are an integral part of a definitive whole which is the world. Whether you know it or not, you are observing everything that goes on around you and reacting in your own creative way to contribute to the environment. You will certainly receive the same response from the communication you're involved in. Calibration is also synonymous with measurement. You are simply measuring another person's behavior and thoughts. You have to develop some form of mind-reading so that you can effectively communicate with the person. Without proper calibration, it is almost impossible to have quality communication. There has to be some form of understanding and compatibility between the persons involved and only by calibrating can you achieve this. You should calibrate a person's state of mind in different time frames. This means that calibration can effectively tell how a person feels or what a person thinks at the time but it doesn't necessarily mean that's how the person feels or thinks constantly. Behavior and state of mind are ever-changing and you should learn how to adapt and calibrate accordingly to garner a positive response. If you don't calibrate well, you will only be assuming and assumptions have the possibility of being wrong. You can develop your visual calibrating skills by observing facial expressions, body language and lips. Watch how emotions are triggered by language and nonverbal cues. Be good with your eyes and try to see things without using sound. Using your eyes in acquiring objective data will intensify the sense of sight and will make you a much more effective intuitive communicator. Remember that the most felt and meant expressions are those which are unspoken. You have to rely on what you see rather than on what you hear to be very effective in communication. This will help you seize opportunities and give people the impression that you are more sensitive than the average person.
