achieved all the key business goals he had ever set himself. He
was also a Gustav Mahler enthusiast. His obsession began in
1965, when as a young Wall Street economist he heard Stokowski
conduct the Second Symphony. From then on he attended every
live performance possible of that symphony, avidly studied every
recording, and eventually at the age of 40 conceived the wild
idea of conducting the work himself. The experts sniffed. Kaplan's
only musical training lay in childhood piano lessons.232 NLP AT WORK
How easy did they find it to answer the questions? Was it easier
at the beginning or at the end? How did the quality of the
communication change as you progressed through the questions?
Each question corresponds to one of the logical levels of change.
The ease with which your partner answered the questions can be
an indication of how familiar that level of thinking about
themselves is to them.REFERENCES
