Talk Time with Meredith McCarthy | NLP: Aiming for Excellence, Not Average
Hello and welcome! In today’s Talk Time, I dive into one of my favourite Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) concepts — modelling excellence.
Have you ever noticed how some people just seem to excel effortlessly? It’s not luck — it’s strategy. NLP teaches us to study what successful people do and “copy-paste” those patterns into our own lives. Whether it’s learning a new skill, improving communication, or reshaping your mindset, this episode will help you start thinking like someone who aims for excellence, not average.
I’ll share my own story from boarding school — how observing high achievers transformed me from a struggling student into a confident learner — and how a tennis coach helped me understand the power of precise modelling. You’ll see how this same principle applies to any area of life you want to master.
