From the Author:

Confusion and misunderstandings happen for many reasons. The message sent is not necessarily the one received. People communicate, both verbally and nonverbally, in a diversity of styles. It's almost as if they're speaking different languages to each other.

There are many communication models. This particular one, from the field of Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), is commonly known as VAK (Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic). This book includes a fourth profile. In NLP terms, it is known as Auditory Digital (Ad). In this text, to better describe what's happening, I call it Internal Dialogue (Id). That also avoids confusion with ADD, a term not commonly known when NLP was originally developed. The full VAK-Id model is quite detailed, so in this book I will provide just a brief overview. Please keep in mind that, as with other models, all of us possess varying mixtures of all profiles.

Knowing how these styles differ can help you put your ideas across more clearly, and give your point of view greater acceptance. As well, you'll have a better handle on the messages people are sending and saying to you. It just makes sense to learn and use these skills.

Once you understand the different profiles, you can get your point across in a way that people will understand. You will establish rapport more quickly to facilitate smoother interactions and absorb information with greater ease and comprehension. As well, you will enhance your leadership skills and accelerate your career advancements.

About the Author:

Born in the U.K. and raised near Montreal, Brian Walsh was a journalist and broadcaster before joining a major international company. For much of his 30-year career he was involved in human resources, specifically training.

While living in the arctic, Brian studied anthropology and Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP). Those experiences combined with extensive international travel prepared him for working with other cultures. He was then transferred to China where he served as his company's General Manager.

After his return to North America, he elected early retirement to further his earlier interest in NLP and hypnotherapy. He returned to formal study, and within four years had achieved his Ph.D. His dissertation, which focused on accelerated learning techniques, inspired his passion and his book, Unleashing Your Brilliance.

Dr. Walsh is dedicated to personal growth and enrichment through his workshops, teleclasses, audio and video products, and his many articles. He is a master practitioner of NLP, an acupuncture detoxification specialist, an EFT practitioner, and a clinical hypnotherapist.
