You have, no doubt, heard the expression, “start with the end in mind.” Well, if you want to achieve excellence that is a useful thought. Because if you start with excellence in mind your chances of achieving excellence will be considerably higher.
Let’s say you are planning a presentation, and you want to make sure it is outstanding, wouldn’t it make sense to start with an image of you sitting down at the end of the presentation to ringing applause?
I talk a lot about NLP techniques and about modeling. One of the keys to successful modeling is to model people whose performance is excellent in the situation in which you want to achieve excellence in your own performance.
So, in an instance where you were seeking to make an outstanding presentation you would hold that image and thought of excellence in mind all the time that you were planning, preparing, rehearsing and delivering your presentation.
