I really like the article and would definetly back up that NLP can be applied in a business context and especially with Sigma type work – in fact when I first started learning sigma I described it as ‘business therapy’ due to the similarities in both approaches.
Re: Rapport, this is an essential skill for all project managers and many just do it unconsciously. Matching the person’s physiology and language are 2 great ways to start and the amazing thing is, if you do it well, the other person won’t even notice.

In agreement with Robert, Anchoring is an excellent and effective tool and I would urge all BBs to look into effective use of it if you can.
Always happy to discuss NLP in a business and Sigma context (I’m a Master Practitioner of NLP & Lean Black Belt) and how you can use it to make your job easier.

Music is very powerful when you think about it. For me, the Star Wars intro music does a similar thing for me. It instantly reminds me of the words scrolling back into the movie screen.

I've been interested in NLP for a while now and have used some of its principles at work. For example I use anchoring when setting-up a project room. I deliberately attempt create an area close to the source of the six sigma area of concern itself, but off-line. The very act of walking into the room or separate area facilitates a state change in the personnel: they know they are here to actively contribute the resolution of the concern. I've other examples of similar techniques that I use (I feel a blog post coming on!). Over at Wikipedia, they use this example: Think of your own psychological changes that occurred when you heard the soundtrack’s amplified, pounding heartbeat rhythm in the moments leading up to each of the appearances of the huge killer shark in the movie ‘Jaws.’ What anchor was established in you by the crescendo of the sound of the music meeting the shark? Did your heartbeat increase? Did your palms begin to sweat? Did you have to see the shark, or was the thumping music enough to start your slide to the edge of your seat?<BR/><BR/>Rob Ron – Nice post.
