That's part of what that empathy exercise was about. I think that type of interaction requires quite a bit of senstivity on the part of the presenter. I'm not sure if you've seen these articles http://tuneupyoureq.com/2007/09/25/how-to-transform-a-list-from-5-to-599/ http://tuneupyoureq.com/2007/09/27/an-intruiging-way-to-create-reality/ You might also enjoy the Norman Vincent Peale series at Tune up your EQ My initial thought is that EQ gives a person tools to make LOA a reality. I look forward to learning what you conclude after your reflection. I agree that effective presentation must involve some give and take. That’s part of what that empathy exercise was about.

Starting with the end in mind is something I have been brought up with. Over the last year, I have developed some reservations about this which I will try to write down and clarify for myself some time over the next month. Thinking about the feelings we are going to engender was less part of my upbringing which was more formulaic - action and result were confounded so one thought about it less and just did it. Thinking widely and deeply about the other parties' reactions is also part of NLP. Athletes, for example, are not only trained to run but also to think of what they will feel when they pass another runner, and what the other runner will feel! There is a another level too, relating to my first point, which is the way excellent speakers co-create with an audience. Obama seems to have this quality. I need to think through the relationship between LOA and EQ. For the moment, I might just say, they both involve thinking though an event in its social context. Or feeling through might be more appropriate! It will be interesting to write this down - ah - will there be more reflection and less action this weekend!

Her pointers seem to me to speak to developing a broad vision for your work. The breadth of thinking will create other opportunities. I was in the recording studio today. Whenever I prepare for a radio/podcast interview, I start by asking "what feelings am I seeking to engender in my listeners" Starting with the end of mind is a general principle. It's not confined to LOA. Do you have any thoughts about whether LOA and EQ are connected? Hello Jo: Erica’s article is sound.
