The Resource Manager By Tristan Roberts I created this technique for a client who was having difficulties in business because she was terrible with numbers. In fact, numbers almost didn't seem to exist for her. When she hears numbers, she just stops listening. Yet this client loves words and is a creative writer. The technique takes the submodalities of a resource that a person uses well, and maps them over to a resource that they misuse. It could be more specific than numbers-words, as with a client 1 had who couldn't balance his checkbook but could recite all kinds of baseball statistics. Other "resources" that could be managed better with this technique: time, space (for someone who is a slob, or for someone who habitually violates 'personal space) money, friends, education, etc. 1. Elicit the submodalities of the problem resource (A). 2. Elicit the submodalities of a resource (B) that the person commands effectively, or even has an "uncanny" command of (most people have one - pop trivia, people's faces, etc.). 3. Change the submodalities of A to match those of B. 4. Test it. Have the person notice how they alreadysee things differently. 5. (Optional) Very often the person's mind will make some additional changes to the submodalities of A that are more uniquely fitting to that resource. Have them notice these additional changes and test if they are useful or not. This technique could also be used somewhat in reverse, to make distinctions between resources (e.g., someone who is good with money but who alienates people by treating them exactly the same way).
