Behavioral modeling
What Are Strategies of Genius?
In NLP, a strategy is a “sequence of internal representational activity that leads to a behavioral outcome.”
Behavioral modeling examines the processes behind an exceptional performance. It breaks a complex activity into smaller steps and identifies elements of thought and action that contribute to the outcome. These elements can then be explored, practiced, and applied in another setting.
◎Aristotle
Find the causes behind a recurring problem
Look at the assumptions and conditions that keep producing the same result.
⌕Sherlock Holmes
Notice the clue that changes the picture
Use close observation and deduction to connect details that seem unrelated.
✧Walt Disney
Take an idea from dream to plan
Explore one idea as a Dreamer, a Realist, and a Critic. Give each perspective its own turn.
♫Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Move between the whole and the detail
Hold the shape of a creative idea in mind while refining the parts that bring it to life.
Four examples from Robert Dilts’s Strategies of Genius, Volume I.
The journey of an idea
From Imagination to Creation
How does an idea become something that changes the world around it? In Strategies of Genius, Robert explores the thinking behind the emergence of an idea, its expression in the world, and the process of evaluating and refining it.
✧01 · Imagine
Envision what could exist
Allow an idea to take shape. Explore possibilities in your imagination and develop a clearer sense of what you want to create.
⌁02 · Realize
Give your vision a form
Connect the larger picture with concrete actions. Consider the steps, resources, and relationships that can help bring an idea into the world.
◎03 · Refine
Learn from what emerges
Observe the result, gather feedback, and improve the next version. Each cycle can reveal new possibilities for the idea itself.
A closer look · Walt Disney
Give Your Ideas Room to Develop
Have you ever dismissed an idea before you had time to explore it? Or found yourself full of possibilities, with no clear way to begin?
Robert’s model of Disney’s creative process brings together three perspectives — the Dreamer, the Realist, and the Critic. Each contributes something different. The way they interact can determine whether an idea develops or gets caught in an internal argument.
Give the dream space to grow, build a workable plan, and then examine how that plan could be improved.
✧ The Dreamer
What do I want to create?
Imagine possibilities and explore the larger vision. Give yourself room to see what could become possible.
⌁ The Realist
How could this work?
Develop the steps and practical conditions that would help turn the vision into something you can act on.
◎ The Critic
What needs to improve?
Examine the plan, identify what is missing, and use that information to strengthen its chances of working.
From their work to yours
Bring These Strategies Into Your Own Work
A strategy describes a process of thinking. Robert’s modeling work explores how elements of that process can be learned and applied in other settings. The questions behind a composer’s creative process or a filmmaker’s planning can open possibilities for a challenge of your own.
♫
A creative project
Move between the overall shape of an idea and the details that give it life. Explore how the parts contribute to the whole.
◎
A complex problem
Examine causes, assumptions, and relationships. Try a different way of defining the problem and notice what becomes visible.
✧
An idea you want to realize
Develop a vision, consider its implementation, and review the plan from several perspectives.
◉
A situation involving other people
Look through another person’s eyes. Consider what they notice, what matters to them, and how they might experience the outcome.
Examples of applications drawn from Robert Dilts’s Strategies of Genius.
A thought experiment for your own life
Creating a Successful Future
Bring a goal, an unfinished idea, or a question you would like to explore. Use the prompts below to consider its possibilities, the steps ahead, and the wider system you are part of.
“What do you love that you can offer in service to others?”Robert Dilts · Strategies of Genius masterclass slides
01 Imagine your future
What is your dream of success? Give yourself time to imagine the outcome and what it would mean to you.
02 Find the steps
What are the key steps to your successful future? Move from the overall vision to actions you can begin to consider.
03 Give the outcome expression
What words, image, gesture, and feeling express that future? What metaphor captures the state you want to create?
04 Discover your resources
What resources are available in the larger system you are part of? Consider the people, relationships, and support around you.
05 Explore other perspectives
Who or what could be affected by your success? Consider both positive and negative effects from different points of view.
06 Learn from experience
What challenges have you faced, or are you facing now? What can you learn from them as you consider your next steps?
With a gift for recognizing patterns and developing models, Robert Dilts’ discoveries and contributions to the NLP field are legendary—from eye-accessing cues and reimprinting to ethical entrepreneurship, health and healing, accelerated learning, NLP coaching, personal growth, and more.
