AstraZeneca Training Team Use Business NLP Techniques to Increase Self Awareness in Communicating with Customers
Both The NHS and the Drugs and Healthcare industries are going through a series of re-organisations and major change. Developing a stronger partnership with customers is essential for navigating such changes. James Prior, an employee of AstraZeneca, is involved in leading this journey.
London, U.K (PRWEB) February 16, 2005 -- AstraZeneca is putting significant development into ensuring it has the best sales force in the UK, moving towards being partner of choice with its customers. This means developing a stronger appreciation of the wants, needs and values of their customers, together with a greater awareness of their own communication styles.
James Prior is Skills Development and Speciality Care training lead, who works with a team of 5 to develop speciality care skills packages for a sales field force of 1200. He approached PPI Business NLP, a bespoke provider – as he believed that Business NLP could help him achieve his objectives. As a starting point he wanted to demonstrate the benefits of a focused business NLP approach for himself.
AstraZeneca sponsored James to complete his master practitioner accreditation; he chose to study modules in leadership, change management and executive coaching. He instantly recognised the benefits in both raising his own self awareness and giving him an additional set of tools to use. James explains I noticed the impact of my own communication and I was immediately able to put into practice skills that I had been learning for some time. This made me easier to talk to and in turn enabled me to raise the value and worth of my own team."
James added Understanding my own personal communication styles was a key step in building on my current skills to communicate with others"
Two techniques that James found exceptionally valuable were ‘values and ‘timeline. ‘Values is a questioning and listening approach that enables the practitioner to find out whats important to his or her client. ‘Timeline is a visualisation or kinaesthetic approach to explore and achieve future goals. James continues Both are easy in principal; the art is in developing the skill set to do them well."
James believes that this training will have a profound benefit in providing a comprehensive tool set those working in the care industry.
James choose PPIs NLP Master Practitioner course because of their business experience and the focus of their team, the small numbers in their seminars and that the accreditation was licensed by Richard Bandler one of the Co-founders of NLP. He is planning to continue his studies with the hypnotic influence module and other master-class modules.
