I just posted [an interesting dialogue I had with a student here]( that I think youâll enjoy.  A while back he emailed and asked:  âHey Tom, I find it very hard to get what is presupposed when people speak. So, is there any way to improve this? Can you give me some drills to improve my situation?â  If youâve studied NLP for any time you know that presuppositions play a massive role in every aspect of verbal communication.  Thereâs far too much to say about presuppositions in one email, but thereâs something I want to highlight that makes ALL the difference in the world.  How well you can hear 1st, 2nd and 3rd order presuppositions is a good indicator as to whether your NLP skills will be âaverageâ or if youâll be masterful with the toolkit.  He said, âwhat do you mean?â  I replied:  "When you listen to people, how well can you hear what isnât being said?"  Or put another way, whenever someone makes an utterance, how many levels deep can you map out the chain of inferences that sit behind (and around) the words they use?  1
2
3 ⦠levels deep?  Having coached many students, I know most people struggle to hear beyond the surface presuppositions in peopleâs statements and canât go more than one level deep.  Which means they are missing out on a HUGE amount of information that is right there on the surface, once they discover how to hear it.  The fact is, even simple utterances can reveal a treasure trove of information when you know how to classify and chunk it.  Donât believe me?  Take this challenge for yourself. Letâs say all the latest news stories about UFO sightings are true and, one day while out walking, you overhear someone say:  âThe Martians canât be trusted. Their culture is toxic. We must not do a trade deal with them!â  What presuppositions can you detect in that statement?  Hereâs a hint: Ask What has to be true for âthatâ to be true?  Try to map both the explicit and implicit presuppositions.  If you want to see the treasure trove of information the speaker reveals without realising it then...  [Go here to see for yourself >>](  When the student saw my response, he said:  âMy god!   You get so many presuppositions from a simple sentence! That is amazing!â  This simple demonstration shows you how, like Sherlock Holmes, YOU can detect and pattern things about the people you meet that they canât possibly imagine youâd know⦠ â¦simply by paying attention to the presuppositions they use.  [Discover the hidden power of presuppositions here...](  To your success,
