Jonathan Altfeld On Inductive And Deductive Thinking: Practical NLP Podcast Episode 80
Practical NLP PodcastShow Notes
This week's interview is with a real innovator in NLP, my old friend and occasional mentor Jonathan Altfeld, international NLP trainer and developer of Genius Mapping and many other useful tools and patterns.
In the interview, Jonathan shares with us an important distinction that will make you a better coach, therapist or even mechanic: the difference between inductive and deductive reasoning, and when to use each. He also recommends some of the people he thinks are doing really worthwhile and original work in NLP, how working in different cultures makes you a better NLP trainer, and why you need to select your first NLP course and trainer carefully (with a couple of pointers on how to do that).
Here's the link to Jonathan's article explaining the difference between inductive and deductive reasoning:
How to Rock Two Different Styles of Reasoning, and Why
If you are inspired to train with Jonathan, here are his upcoming courses.
Finally, it would really help me out if you review the podcast on Apple Podcasts and/or anywhere else you can leave a review to raise its profile so more people can benefit from it. Thanks in advance!
