Spiritual NLP Blog | Neuro-Linguistic Programming | Change Your Life | Gary de Rodriguez, Dallas, TX

Have You Heard?

 My lifes work as a trainer, coach, and master practitioner of  Humanistic, Neuro-Linguistic, Physiology (HNLP). Whatever major change you are seeking, be it related to your career, your relationships, your business venture, or anything else that matters to you. You cannot move forward with purpose and intent unless you first understand the workings of your mind.

This is because:

Nothing happens without someone thinking, feeling, or saying it first.

While pop psychology may teach you that greatness is about attitude, positive thinking, or even manipulating your environment to better serve your own ends, I am here to share with you a different paradigm entirely. Through “Changes” my Newsletter, you will be accessing ideas and insights simply not found anywhere else on the Internet, on television, or even in a book (although that’s coming soon!). I will share with you the tools and methods I have used for almost 25 years to help thousands of people around the world discover their purpose and live in complete alignment with that purpose. So get ready for a wonderful ride you simply cannot afford to miss. And remember, Changes is always 100% free. You may forward any issue of Changes to friends or colleagues whom you feel would benefit from our inspirational teachings. I look forward to sharing with you.

Language is Powerful Choose Wisely

Success in all of our relationships, including the success of an organization, hinges on every conversation we participate in.  The authentic conversation is the vehicle for empowerment of your self, your relationship with others and the growth of a healthy, thriving business.

 Success or failure is a result of our relationship skills.   The foundation for our success lies in our ability to successfully communicate, listen, establish mutual understanding and resolve differences.   

It will happen one conversation at a time.  The better equipped you are with self leadership skills, empowered by systems for communicating authentically, the greater your success will be.

Conversation is an integral component of all relationships.  Without honest, respectful conversation, the possibility for a positive evolution of the relationship comes to an end.  Your relationships are the laboratory where you discover the hidden patterns of your deepest subconscious operating systems.  When you practice self-leadership, coupled with authentic conversation, the feedback you receive in your relationships is an invaluable loop of information for your personal and professional success.

Without the ability to master authentic conversations the organization falters, relationships become passive aggressive and non-communicative and as a result, the product or service is compromised in its delivery.

We need to become aware of not only what we are unwilling to say but also of what we require to say.   When we neglect to hold the authentic conversation we become more passive aggressive in our behaviors and we deteriorate our own self-esteem and self worth.  As this misaligned behavior continues we act outside of our deepest core values and moral codes.  When this occurs our self-esteem plummets and we begin acting less and less like true leaders.  Fear becomes a familiar emotion and our relationships, both personal and organizational, become toxic and self-defeating.  

When we withhold our authentic self we begin to silently resent ourselves as well as the person we have not had the courage to hold an authentic conversation with.  As a result the relationship deteriorates in the silence until nothing healthy or vital is left.

Like a frog in slowly heated water that does not recognize that the water is getting hot until it is too late, the individual who procrastinates the necessity for the authentic conversation slowly destroys the relationship.

It happens over time.  In incremental stages each person involved becomes smaller and smaller with plummeting self worth until the feelings between people become so toxic from their resentment that tremendous effort is required to build a bridge between the differences.

You are the one you have been waiting for.   Be the one to step up and take the risk of being seen, creating a change and becoming the leader you are destined to be, one conversation at a time. 

What got us to this point in history economically are misaligned values, egocentric leadership and a lack of courage to hold the authentic conversation for the benefit of the whole.

More tomorrow!

The Way We Think & The Way We Speak

Heaven or Hell, success or failure is birthed in our relationship skills.     The foundation to our success is our ability to successfully communicate, listen, establish mutual understanding and resolve differences.

Our life success hinges on every conversation we participate in.

The conversation is the relationship.  Without the conversation, the possibilities for evolving yourself, your success and the evolution of the relationship come to an end.  Your relationships are the laboratory that you discover the hidden patterns of your deepest subconscious operating systems.  When you practice self leadership the feedback you receive in your relationships is an invaluable feedback loop for your personal and professional success.

Without the our ability to master authentic conversations the organization falters, relationships become passive aggressive and non communicative and the product or service is compromised in it’s delivery.

Often times we should be fearful of what we are unwilling to say instead of what we require to say.   When we neglect to hold the authentic conversation we deteriorate our own self esteem and self worth as we begin more passive aggressive in our behaviors.  As this misaligned behavior continues we act outside our deepest core values and moral codes.  When this occurs our self esteem plummets and we begin acting less and less like leaders while fear becomes a familiar emotion.  

The authentic conversation is the vehicle to empowerment of your self, your relationship and team members.

When we withhold our authentic self we will silently resent the ourselves and the person we have not had the courage to hold an authentic conversation with.  As a result the relationship deteriorates in the silence until nothing is left.

Like a frog in slowly heated water does recognize that the water is continually heating up until it is too late, the individual who procrastinates the necessity for the authentic conversation slowly destroys the relationship.

It happens over time, in stages each person becomes smaller and smaller with plummeting self worth until the feelings between people become so toxic from their resentment and made up hallucinations of each other that no effort will build a bridge between the differences.

Our success or failure will happen one conversation at a time.  The better equipped you are with self leadership skills empowered by systems for communicating authentically the greater your success will be.

You are the one you have been waiting for.   Be the one to step up and take the risk of being seen, creating a change and becoming the leader you are destined to be one conversation at a time.  

Our teams are suffering, our personal relationships are deteriorating and our organizations are slowly being eaten away by the virus of inauthentic conversations, positioning for petty power and operating out of antiquated models of hierarchical leadership.

What got us to this point in history economically are mis-aligned values, egocentric leadership and a lack of courage to hold the authentic conversation fro the benefit of the whole.

Look Within

In order for organizations to begin building the foundation for cultural transformation they must provide all members of the organization with foundational life skills to transform their thinking, relationships, and communication so that they can create a metamorphosis from dysfunctional attitude to self leadership and power.

If an organization continues to provide only the upper level personnel with leadership and management training, without providing life skills training to all strata of the company, the cultural change will be ineffective.   The profit centers for many companies are not in the upper level boardrooms but in the front lines where the employee meets the customer.

I’m not just speaking about foundational sales training but comprehensive life skills training, so that all staff members stay resourced, not only with the customer, but also with each other.  If we think that the customer does not feel the culture when they do business with us we are very mistaken.   The relationship between employee to employee and employee to management is felt immediately when the customer walks through the door.  They feel the break in relationship and notice the “vibe” of the business.  People do not make decisions based only on price but also on how they feel.

Every member of your team establishes and contributes to the culture.  Invest and empower your human equity and you will have a profit center that ultimately produces far beyond the organization that operates out of an ancient cultural model of power from the top down and profit being an end to itself.

The investment in the human equity leaves a legacy of good well beyond your current years by empowering the people who have invested their time and energy with you and by providing a product or service ringing with integrity and honor.

It is such a simple thing to care for people in equal measure to your success.  The interesting result is that when you do, you create more profit in the long-term and the humanity in which you conduct your business is how you will be known and the legacy you will leave.

Look Within

Our business is a reflection of who we are and how we think and operate in the world.  It represents how we treat others, how we build relationships and it demonstrates our values.  Our business is our personal creation and demonstrates the legacy of what we will leave behind and how we will be known.

The ability for each one of us to create a positive impact on the lives of others and to build a legacy of good is only limited by belief.  The more we live in a world of scarcity and struggle, choosing an us verses them mentality, the more fear we will experience and we will continue to exist in a state of contraction and limitation in both our personal and professional lives.    

The nature of the current economic condition is a mirror of the core values and lack of integrity that has been running corporate America for decades.  We cannot fix a system that has been broken by greed until the prevailing mindset of our leaders transforms that system into businesses filled with heart, compassion and integrity. A new paradigm must rise to establish a powerful force for good that has broad reaching influence over the people and communities that are served.

We are on the forefront of a new wave of business philosophy, one that turns away from an exclusive focus on the bottom line profit at all costs.  Instead, focus is placed on sustainable profit over the years through the creation of mutual benefit for all those involved or influenced by our business.  Conscious commerce, investing in the human equity of employees, customers and vendors, establishes a framework for building an ethical business while at the same time building profit.

In order for our business to develop a conscious commerce approach it must operate from a vision bound by integrity, humanity and wisdom.  In the old paradigm, organizations burned up their staff through stress, toxic relationships and inauthentic conversations that created toxic cultures.   The alternative is to invest in the human equity of your organization through self-leadership and leadership life skills training.   Each member of an organization is like a cell in a body.  If a cell is diseased it will eventually spread to other cells and infect them with a similar disease.  Most people come poorly equipped with self-leadership knowledge and tools when entering a new culture or attempting to change the culture they are currently in.  Organizational culture is built from the attitudes of the collective whole and that includes from the top down to the bottom up.   Most members of an organization deeply desire to do a great job, however they bring the unaddressed relationship dynamics and communication skills from their past personal and professional experience and project those attitudes into the teams attempting to provide a service or produce a product. Companies rarely fail because of money but primarily because of broken relationships.
