❏ At the start of a presentation.
❏ Being on the receiving end of aggression.
❏ When we have to tell someone they have been made
redundant.
❏ When delegating an area of work to a new employee for the
first time.
❏ In a meeting when our point of view is different to that of the
majority.
❏ When we get some tough feedback.
❏ When we are faced with unexpected change.
❏ When all the technology we rely on fails us.
Similarly, we can decide what effect we want to have on other
people, when for example:
❏ They are entering a discussion with us.
❏ We are delegating jobs to them.
❏ They have feedback to give to us.
❏ We are asking them for a decision.
❏ They receive an email from us.
❏ They check into our website.
❏ Someone makes contact with our company.
❏ They receive a call from us.
We have the ability to influence our own and others' responses
in a way that is resourceful, one in which we have confidence
and choice about what we can do.
Let's start by considering how to generate the state you want
for yourself. The process of anchoring involves linking a

present, i.e., a situation into which you are associated. The
linking process subsequently enables you to use the anchor to
reaccess that same experience when it can benefit you in
another context.
