The Proposition that our beliefs and attitudes have an effect on the outcome is growing in popularity. A movie, "The Secret" favors this proposition with a simple equivalency "the expectations that we put out into the universe is equal to what the universe will deliver back to us."

However our world view is very complex. We are often unaware of large parts of what we are communicating to the universe.

Presuppositions are components of our stance in the world that may strongly influence our communication to the universe. We all have presuppositions. They are basically assumptions that underpin our approach to the world. Below You will find some common NLP presuppositions and suggest a corresponding alternative that Murphy would have to get the luck that he has.

A Model of Excellence answers the following question: “What is the difference between a top performer and a low performer?” Sometimes such a model is named a “reference model.” This page describes jobEQ’s experience with building and using such Models of Excellence. At jobEQ this model is organized around the following formula for success:


Given that a top performer gets results, applying jobEQ formula for explaining results leads to 3 questions: What kind of attitude does a top performer have? What values does the top performer hold? What competencies does a top performer have (which a low performer doesn’t have)? In other words, a complete Model of Excellence will have to define the attitude, the values and the competencies of top performers, and explain how these differ from attitude, values and competencies observed with lower performers holding the same kind of function. jobEQ’s technology for making maps of excellence in any of these 3 domains can be combined with other technology for the other 2 domains.
