No, I don’t mean the catwalk type!

This topic has been brewing in my mind for over a year, and when WordPress so kindly provided me with my handy dandy annual round up, it showed me that the most popular posts I’ve written are those on writing or publishing – as if there aren’t enough of those out there already – so I reckoned it was about time for another.

Anyway, back to topic. ‘Modelling’, in this case, is something I use every day in my work, both equestrian and writing. It actually refers to a concept used by NLP practitioners (that’s Neuro Linguistic Programming).

Don’t panic, it might sound like psychology technobabble, but its really quite simple when you put it in plain English:

• the study of excellence, and
• how to copy it to produce great results

Sounds terrific, huh?

Well, it is. It’s used extensively in business training, sports…
